(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Valmet Oyj's press release on June 12, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. EET
Valmet and Södra Cell in Sweden have signed a three-year agreement for web-based
training via the Valmet Online Learning portal. Valmet will provide online
courses for all main mill processes to about 600 employees at all three Södra
mills in Sweden; Värö, Mörrum, and Mönsterås.
Previously, Södra has purchased Valmet's online training as part of the Värö
mill expansion project. Based on excellent training results and positive
feedback from the trainees, Södra is now extending the agreement to all three
mills over a period of three years.
"Developing the skills of our employees, both our current and newly employed, is
of utmost importance. Having effective methods and tools for education is an
important prerequisite. We truly believe that together with our skilled intern
teachers, the Valmet Online Learning Portal will be an important part of a
strong concept," says Stefan Sandberg, Mill Manager at Södra Cell Mörrum,
Sweden.
Valmet Online Learning is a fully-featured Learning Management System (LMS),
offering individual and group level reporting and a diversity of collaboration
features, available from computers and mobile devices. It provides 24/7 access
to a large online course library for operators, maintenance staff, and other
personnel in the pulp, paper, energy, and other process industries. Assessments,
evaluations, and certificates are integrated in the portal and can be easily
customized.
"Valmet Online Learning is an efficient tool to get our customers' new employees
quickly up to speed in their new roles. For experienced operators, the online
courses are a time-saver when preparing for re-certification tests. We also see
that our customers value the extensive reporting features which support each
