SAVANNAH, GA, UNITED STATES, June 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- BluWorkz, a U.S.-based, veteran-owned leader in immersive workforce training solutions, is proud to announce its partnership with Savannah Technical College to enhance career readiness in the warehouse and logistics sector through cutting-edge virtual reality (VR) technology.

As part of Savannah Tech’s Fast Track Warehouse & Logistics program, students, transitioning service members, and adult learners now gain hands-on experience using BluWorkz’s VR Forklift Simulator—bringing textbook knowledge to life in a safe, immersive, and risk-free environment.

“My students have been able to be trained quicker on lift equipment because of the muscle memory skills they have learned in VR, it helps to get applied quicker on material handling equipment with developing good safe skills. VR training creates an immersive and engaging learning experience, leading to better information retention and faster skill development. Studies show VR learners can retain information much better than through lectures, reading, or audio/visual learning. I have seen significant reductions in training time using VR simulations, potentially making training 3 to 5 times more efficient.,” said Bill Stankeiwicz, Forklift & OSHA Instructor at Savannah Technical College.

Savannah Technical College trains its students, adult learners and transitioning service members from the U.S. Armed Forces. Partnerships with amazing non-profits such as Heroes Make America, which are committed to making today's American Heroes tomorrow's manufacturing leaders.
