Designed for newcomers to the industry, experienced professionals and employers looking to invest in workforce development, the FIA UK Academy brings together expert knowledge from across the packaging and print supply chain.
The enhanced programme includes training in core flexographic and packaging principles, sustainability and regulatory developments, emerging technologies, AI, practical technical expertise and wider professional development.
“The Academy has been developed to equip individuals and businesses with the knowledge and skills required to remain competitive in a rapidly changing industry, while helping to attract and develop the next generation of talent,” said the FIA in a statement. “The Association believes continued investment in education and professional development will play a key role in supporting innovation, improving productivity and strengthening the long-term future of the UK flexographic and packaging sectors.”
