Company News, News | October 23, 2024 | By: ATA

The Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry (INDA) and The Nonwovens Institute (NWI), have released the 2025 schedule of short courses. The training courses cover the full spectrum of the nonwoven value chain, ranging from raw materials to processes to products.

The nonwovens training program combines classroom learning with hands-on activities in NWI’s state-of-the-art nonwoven production and testing labs on the Centennial Campus of North Carolina State University.

All courses are taught by expert trainers with decades of experience in nonwoven applications and technology and guest lecturers from the industry will also provide their insight to students.

“Internal expertise, industry guest lecturers, state-of-the-art equipment—this course has it all!” says a recent INDA/NWI short course attendee.

2025 INDA/NWI Training Course Schedule:

“INDA is excited to have reached a formal agreement with NWI earlier this year, building upon our long-standing partnership to deliver world-class training programs for nonwoven industry professionals,” says Matt O’Sickey, Ph.D., INDA’s director of education and technical affairs. “By solidifying our collaboration, INDA and NWI are focused on serving the training needs of our industry with the highest-quality content that delivers technical excellence and business intelligence to individuals working in nonwovens.”

“The 2025 schedule of training courses covers the key nonwoven platforms and technology concepts with an excellent mix of technical and business-minded content,” says Tom Daugherty, NWI’s deputy director. “The program is designed to provide value to experienced industry professionals, as well as those who are new to nonwovens. A new course for 2025 is Carded Nonwovens Technology. The addition of this course is based on direct feedback from our attendees, as we are committed to evolving our training program to meet the needs of the industry.”

Short Course Value Packs

As part of the 2025 short course program, INDA and NWI are offering a Short Course Value Pack incentive to provide maximum value to those organizations who are committed to workforce development. Value packs are available in bundles of 5, 10, 15 and 20 registrations, with discounts ranging from 10–25%, depending on the size of the value pack.

“Workforce development is a pillar of NWI’s service offering, and the INDA/NWI portfolio of training courses is unmatched in the value it offers to organizations operating in and/or serving the nonwovens industry. The Short Course Value Pack program represents a strategic opportunity for business leaders to invest in the knowledge and expertise of their workforce to achieve a competitive advantage in nonwovens while doing so at an extremely favorable price point,” says Behnam Pourdeyhimi, Ph.D., NWI’s executive director.
