The 250 hour training was completed after being assigned to the Quality Operations Microbiology Laboratory. The trainee aimed to apply the acquired knowledge and skills from the University, and obtain practical experience in milk processing and laboratory analysis, quality control and quality assurance. Orientation regarding plant and laboratory policies and activities was conducted before hands-on training in media preparation; environment monitoring; in-process and water sampling; systems monitoring; 5S; and observation of the test methods was performed. Modern technologies employed in WPI - PN plant were introduced to the trainee.
