Today, practical training began at the company BIMAL in Brčko for five fourth-grade students of the Public Institution Agricultural and Medical School, majoring in food processing technician.

Maida Tursunović, Lejla Čabrić, Anđela Đurić, Jasmina Hadžić, and Anes Čizmo will, during the second semester, within the framework of the curriculum, in the field of fats and oils technology, practically learn how oil is produced at the only oil factory in Bosnia and Herzegovina, BIMAL in Brčko. Through the company’s facilities – Silo, Pressing and Extraction Plant, Refinery and Bottling Plant, as well as the Laboratory – they will learn the flow of the production process and product quality testing.

The beginning of the practical training at the company BIMAL was also attended by Senad Osmanović, Head of the Department of Education, and Srđan Kisić, Head of the Subdepartment for Secondary Education, as well as Vedrana Dragičević, Deputy Director of the Agricultural and Medical School, and Slađana Arsenić Đurić, Coordinator of Practical Training.

Addressing those present, Head Osmanović said that the Department of Education has initiated the procedure for the adoption of the Law on Dual Education in the Brčko District of BiH, with the aim of aligning the necessary process of practical training and the needs of the labor market for personnel in the coming period.

“This is an example of good practice implemented by the Department of Education in cooperation with companies in the District. One of such companies is BIMAL, where our students have the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in practical, real-life conditions,” said Senad Osmanović, Head of the Department of Education of the Government of the Brčko District of BiH.

The first BIMAL Group’s ESG report is published

The report was prepared in accordance with GRI standards (Global Reporting Initiative, version 2021), which represent an internationally recognized framework for transparent and responsible sustainability reporting.

The role of BIMAL Group in the social community in which it operates, and the impact it has on the immediate and distant environments and the business community, is significant. Therefore, as a leader in business, corporate responsibility, and corporate governance, BIMAL Group sets an example in its environment in driving positive changes.
