He also received training at CPCC's Harper Campus and the Flexographic Trade School and had the opportunity to operate Mark Andy and Comco presses.
Phoenix Challenge chairman Bettylyn Krafft accompanied Vargas on visits to observe the FTA Flexo In High Schools hands-on flexographic programmes at South Mecklenburg High School and Fort Mill High School.
They also toured the converters, Parks Printing and Label Tec, in the Charlotte area.
INA said that it has more than 40 eager students pre-registered for the course in flexography, as well as several converters in the San Jose area that have committed to assist with flexographic training at INA.
