Bluworkz, a US-based provider of immersive workforce training solutions, and Savannah Technical College have joined forces to introduce forklift training that incorporates virtual reality (VR) technology.

As part of Savannah Tech’s “Fast Track Warehouse & Logistics program”, students, transitioning service members, and adult learners are gaining hands-on experience using Bluworkz’ VR Forklift Simulator.

“VR training creates an immersive and engaging learning experience, leading to better information retention and faster skill development,” says Bill Stankeiwicz, forklift and OSHA instructor at Savannah Technical College.

“I have seen significant reductions in training time using VR simulations, potentially making training three to five times more efficient.”

The VR training complements a comprehensive curriculum that covers topics including Global Supply Chain; Material Handling, Logistics and Quality Control; Workplace Communications; and Equipment Operation and Safety.

In addition, students have the opportunity to earn two nationally recognised certifications from the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC), namely Certified Logistics Associate (CLA) and Certified Logistics Technician (CLT).
