BLUWORKZ ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH ADECCO

SAVANNAH, GA, UNITED STATES, April 10, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — BluWorkz, a software development company offering virtual reality training and assessment services for forklifts and other heavy equipment, announced a new partnership with Adecco and Adecco Group US Foundation to provide VR-based forklift upskilling services to non-credentialed workers across the United States.

Rolling out first in Columbus, Ohio, this exciting new partnership will deliver critical work skill training and assessment now-for entry level non-credentialed (blue collar) workers. In their LinkedIn announcement, Adecco stated that “…this offering allows us to broaden and diversify candidate pools to attract new talent, develop the workforce, and have safer forklift operators.”

Additionally, Senior Manager for Marketing & Strategic Initiatives at Adecco Group US Foundation, Ashley Weaver, said: “At the Adecco Group US Foundation, our mission is to make the future work for everyone and to help provide workers access to greater economic mobility through upskilling. Due to alignment in values and goals, we chose to partner with BluWorkz for their virtual reality forklift simulator to complement our existing forklift upskilling

offering so we could allow a broader, more diverse group of the workforce the opportunity to learn more about and experience what it’s like to operate a forklift. It is our goal to allow more individuals access to explore this as a career pathway and help to close the skills gap for light industrial workers.” Susan Shemanski, Vice President of Risk Management for Adecco Group NA, added that “At Adecco, we realized that using VR for our forklift training would increase knowledge retention and allow us to test drivers’ reactions without putting them at risk. We chose BluWorkz as our partner due to the quality of their system and excellent customer service in supporting our efforts.”
