A training center to increase skills, stimulate growth and attract new talent: it’s the new Apuane Learning Center of Baker Hughesinaugurated yesterday at the production plant in Massa in the presence of the company’s management and institutions.
The overall investment of 120 million in the area

Featuring six multifunctional training rooms, as well as other smaller spaces, the Apuane Learning Center will work in synergy with the Florence Learning Center in Florence, further strengthening the collaboration between the group’s Tuscan factories and local partners.
