Printing and Graphic Arts

Rapidly changing technology is creating huge change throughout the printing and graphic arts industry. Demand for some traditional occupations is on the decline while job opportunities in areas like digital production are expanding exponentially.

Printing and graphic arts encompasses a wide range of functions from the creation of images and layouts (design) to the preparation of these for printing (pre-press), reproduction by a number of processes (press or printing), and the assembly of final products (post press or finishing). In addition, the industry supports a large number of related industries - the manufacturing of products like ink, for example.

The Printing and Graphic Arts Training Package caters for new and emerging technologies and addresses current and future skill needs.
