Five students from the Agricultural and Medical School, majoring in Food Technology – Maida Tursunović, Lejla Čabrić, Anđela Đurić, Jasmina Hadžić and Anes Čizmo – have been attending practical training every Thursday at the facilities of BIMAL since January 22, 2026.
“This group of five fourth-year students from the Agricultural and Medical School, majoring in Food Technology, has been completing their internship at BIMAL for two months. Through the Silos, Pressing and Extraction, Refinery and Filling departments, as well as the Laboratory, they are learning about the production process and product quality testing. During this time, they have demonstrated a high level of responsibility, strong interest in business processes, work, and acquiring practical knowledge, while my colleagues in our facilities selflessly share their knowledge and involve them in business processes wherever it is safe,” said Šuhreta Tatarević, Recruitment & People Development Manager.
One of the students, Maida Tursunović, emphasized that during the internship it became clear that the knowledge she and her classmates gained over four years of schooling is applicable, and that all the additional skills passed on by their teachers were very useful.
“I think we are now a good example that all the theory could be applied through practice, and that we had the opportunity to see and learn even more. I hope this internship will continue for future generations and that all young people will transfer the knowledge gained in school into factories,” said Maida.
“Internships for high school students are highly beneficial, both for students, who gain practical knowledge and become better prepared for the labor market or further education, and for our business group, which through this form of social responsibility contributes to the development of future qualified professionals. In the Brčko District of BiH, the Law on Dual Education has not yet been adopted, but there is an ongoing initiative for its implementation, which we support and are ready to assist with, just as we currently contribute to student education through our internship program,” said Jelena Lugonja, PR Manager of the Group.
This group of students will remain in the internship until the end of April, when they will gradually complete their secondary education.
