Experience is worth more than gold

Thanks to the project Experience is worth more than gold 70 students completed their internship and more than 20 companies have participated in the project so far. The goal of the project is to expand the reach of a socially responsible project and to further sensitize the business community to student problems.

AD Plastik Group has been actively participating in the project Experience is worth more than gold for a few years and thanks to the project some of the students today are very high quality employees of the company. Senior year student of Russian and Portuguese Language and Literature at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb, Marija Lalić, is a person with disability who revealed to us that she often meets different social prejudices. She considers that the opportunities for employment of people with disabilities in our society are unfortunately still limited. “The internship in AD Plastik helps me a lot in terms of professionalism, because I translate and gain work experience in a large company,” said Marija Lalić.

„Through the internship and employment of young people with disabilities or lower socio-economic status, we want to enable them to gain experience and new knowledge. We point out the importance and benefit of such projects to other companies in the region. Acquiring initial work experience is extremely valuable for young people who are applying,” pointed out Kornelija Pavičić, Executive Director of Human Resources at AD Plastik.
