NEW & NOTEWORTHY
Virtual Learning for Flexo
The Phoenix Challenge Foundation is proud to announce the launch of the Howard B. Vreeland Sr. Virtual Campus, an innovative online learning platform designed to introduce high school and technical school students to the fundamentals of flexographic printing.
This new educational resource represents another significant step forward in the Foundation’s mission of Creating, Inspiring & Building Tomorrow’s Workforce.
Produced and hosted by the Phoenix Challenge Foundation, the Howard B. Vreeland Sr. Virtual Campus is a state-of-the-art learning management system (LMS) developed specifically for students exploring careers in graphic communications, manufacturing, packaging, and print production.
The platform provides structured, self-paced coursework that delivers industry-relevant knowledge and prepares students for future opportunities in the flexographic printing industry.
Flexography is one of the most widely used commercial printing processes in the world, producing everything from food packaging and labels to medical products, newspapers, and corrugated boxes. As demand for printed packaging and labeling continues to grow, skilled flexographic professionals remain highly sought after throughout North America.
"Our goal has always been to cultivate the next generation of print industry professionals," said Joe Tuccitto, board member of the Phoenix Challenge Foundation. "This LMS gives anyone with curiosity about flexography a clear, credentialed path to building real-world skills."
