The program of the new logistics training center was developed in accordance with Volkswagen concern’s standards, similarly to the program of the logistics training center in Bratislava (Slovakia). The coaches of the Kaluga educational center received their training in Slovakia as well. At the first stage, the center will provide training for nearly 500 employees of the logistics department. Learning sessions will focus on three principal directions: process quality, ergonomics and labor safety.
