Education and Recruitment — Cure for Workforce Woes?

The PGSF has created a career guide, “Careers in Graphic Communications,” which has been a helpful tool in recruiting young people. We’ve produced 250,000 copies. It’s helped double the number of applications for PGSF scholarships within just one year.

We hand it out at open houses, give it to guidance counselors, and drop it off at school offices and libraries. Several printers also ask for it, so they can give it out to anyone interested in pursuing a career in printing. And, another great thing is that the guidebook can be downloaded online at the GraphicCommCentral Website at www.teched.vt.edu/gcc .
