Nelkoski Organic Food, a pioneer in the organic food industry, recently had the pleasure of hosting students from the highly renowned BAPUSS University in Belgrade, Serbia. This collaboration provided these bright students with an exceptional opportunity to apply their academic learning in a real-world setting, working alongside our experienced team and esteemed partners.

A Unique Learning Opportunity: The students from BAPUSS University joined us for a practical experience that combined education, innovation, and creativity. Their primary project was to contribute to the new design of the packaging for three of our cream products, a task that demanded both creativity and an understanding of market dynamics.

Collaboration with Industry Experts: This project was a collaborative effort involving our in-house marketing team and partners from the Sefidanis Research Centre, Saint Paul University in Ohrid, and Kasarna Hub in Ohrid. The students had the invaluable opportunity to work alongside experts in the field, gaining insights into the nuances of product branding and marketing in the organic food sector.

Hands-On Experience in Packaging Design: Throughout their time with us, the students were actively involved in the conceptualization, design, and execution stages of the packaging development. Their fresh perspectives and innovative ideas were instrumental in creating a unique and appealing design for our products, particularly the Ohrid Crunchy cream. This hands-on experience in a real business environment provided them with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and rewards of product marketing.

Outcomes and Achievements: The result of this collaboration was remarkable. The new packaging design for the Ohrid Crunchy cream, influenced by the creativity and hard work of the BAPUSS University students, has been widely acclaimed for its aesthetic appeal and functionality. This success story is a testament to the importance of practical experience in higher education and the value of university-industry collaborations.

At Nelkoski Organic Food, we are proud to contribute to the professional growth of students by providing them with opportunities to apply their academic knowledge in real-world scenarios. The success of our collaboration with BAPUSS University students highlights our commitment to nurturing the next generation of professionals and the mutual benefits of such partnerships.

At Nelkoski Organic Food, we recently had the privilege of welcoming students from the University of Northampton in London (UONL). This initiative offered these aspiring professionals an exceptional opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the intricate world of food certification practices and international sales, enhancing their academic knowledge with practical skills.

Engaging in Certification Practices: The students from UONL delved into the critical area of food certification, an essential aspect of the global food industry. Working closely with our team, they learned about the various standards and procedures required to certify organic food products. This experience provided them with an in-depth understanding of the regulatory environment and the importance of compliance in maintaining product integrity and consumer trust.

Exploring International Sales: In addition to certification practices, the UONL students were actively involved in our international sales department. Here, they experienced firsthand the dynamics of global trade, from negotiating deals to understanding the nuances of international marketing. This exposure was instrumental in providing them with a holistic view of the global food market, including the challenges and opportunities it presents.

Collaborative Learning Experience: Collaborating with our experienced staff, the students were encouraged to contribute their ideas and participate in real-world projects. This collaborative approach not only enriched their learning experience but also brought fresh perspectives to our team, fostering a mutually beneficial environment of knowledge exchange.

Outcomes and Impact: The engagement of UONL students at Nelkoski Organic Food was a resounding success, yielding positive outcomes for both the students and our company. The practical skills and insights they gained are invaluable assets that will undoubtedly aid in their future careers. For us, their fresh ideas and enthusiastic participation have been a source of inspiration and innovation.
