“In Fiera We Stand” – Training for Stand Builders

InFieraWeStand was created with the aim of training technical and operational professionals specialised in the setup of exhibitions, events, concerts, art installations, and congresses.

The programme alternates classroom-based learning with hands-on work alongside our partner companies. During the training months, apprentices can acquire both practical and theoretical skills in areas such as stand assembly and dismantling, material handling, lighting design, electrical systems, and executive planning.

The educational offering is enriched by the contributions of ASAL Assoallestimenti, Fiera Milano, Nolostand, and the companies that host the students.
