Charlotte, North Carolina (06 December 2011) - The Phoenix Challenge Foundation (PCF), a prominent organization which promotes on-going education in flexography and graphic arts, is broadening its presence to promote tomorrow's needs in the workforce. Bettylyn Krafft, Executive Director of the PCF, will be a featured speaker and panel expert at the upcoming PLGA Global Operational Conference to be held February 29 - March 1 in Miami, Florida.
Session I at this year's event, Facing Today's and Tomorrow's Workforce Issues on the Factory Floor, is a priority discussion bringing together the flexo and gravure industries for the first time. Krafft's 15 year history in developing and promoting flexo in education as a career plan will bring a wealth of experience to the conference, discussing the past successes and future opportunities. Krafft will present how this integration has been successful at 26 different vocational and high schools, and how it has also expanded on to college campuses throughout North America. Her devotion to the Phoenix Challenge Foundation and developing young people has helped link educational opportunities to the factory floor.
