Newton, NJ – Flexo Label Advantage Group LLC (FLAG) – Flexo Label Advantage Group LLC (FLAG) is excited to announce its June Lunch & Learn, “How Flexographic Printers Can Attract, Train & Retain Talent,” taking place Tuesday, June 23 at 12:00 PM EST.

Presented by Catherine Haynes, Executive Vice President at All Printing Resources (APR), this special interview-style Lunch & Learn will focus on one of the biggest challenges facing flexographic printers today: building and keeping a skilled workforce.

Labor shortages, skill gaps, onboarding challenges, and retention issues continue to impact printers across North America. During this live virtual session, Haynes will discuss proven workforce development strategies that can help companies recruit more effectively, onboard faster, build operator confidence, and create stronger career pathways for employees.

The conversation will also highlight how companies are using FlexoAcademy, APR’s flexible online and blended training platform, to support continuous learning and strengthen their teams for the future. FlexoAcademy is designed to help converters build a more consistent training foundation through online flexographic fundamentals, instructor engagement, technical discussion, and practical application.

“The companies that win the workforce battle are going to be the ones that get serious about training,” said JC McKay, President of FLAG. “The converters that can attract people, train them faster, and keep them engaged are going to separate themselves from the pack. This Lunch & Learn gives FLAG Members direct access to a Vendor Partner that is helping companies do exactly that.”

This Lunch & Learn will give FLAG Members the opportunity to ask questions, hear proven recommendations, and explore how a more structured approach to training can support production, quality, employee confidence, and long-term business growth.

This event is exclusive to FLAG Members, and registration is required. Members are encouraged to invite leadership, HR, operations, production, training, quality, and prepress team members who are involved in recruiting, onboarding, employee development, or workforce planning.
