Trainings

essenscia aims to offer the highest quality service to businesses within the chemical and life sciences sector. That is why we make it a priority to provide high quality training courses.

The sector federation organizes many training courses in various areas of expertise, mainly concerning health, safety, product policy, social affairs, and intellectual property protection. In 2020, more than 2,150 employees in the sector received training, representing almost 11,000 hours of training.

Many of these courses are sponsored by the government through the SME Portfolio (« KMO-portefeuille »), an initiative of the Flemish government.

With Co-valent, the sector has its own training fund to support at-risk groups and free training adapted for businesses within the sector.
