AICC’s Foundation for Packaging Education has achieved its first funding objective: to have $3 million in hand. The foundation is grateful for the support of the inaugural donors and the donor companies and individuals who have demonstrated their commitment to the education of those already in the workforce.
This is a real milestone as the foundation’s board of directors will now put a portion of those funds to work in support of education programming through AICC’s Packaging University and other opportunities that support the education of individuals working in the paper-based packaging industry and related supply chain companies.
Hitting this milestone is timely. Packaging University students recently have completed 25,000 online courses since the site went live in April 2017. That is a substantial number of your team members who have improved themselves and their value to their companies. And the demand for courses and materials is only increasing.
Education is a core AICC member benefit and is apparent in all that AICC does—at national and regional meetings; at dedicated education and training events, several at AICC member company facilities; and in the creation of the foremost online packaging education program in the industry.
The need for fresh and relevant education programming is never satisfied, and AICC never pauses its work in this regard. AICC and the Foundation for Packaging Education appreciate all of the subject matter experts and educators who share their time and knowledge putting together AICC’s outstanding program.
The foundation’s capital—your donations—will see to it that AICC members’ teams will always have access to an education program that will ensure growth and success. Theirs and yours.
