WORK FORCE 2002 -- Building Strength

Another way that printers can ensure that their employees have the essential skills they need is to turn to the Graphic Arts Education and Resources Foundation's (GAERF) Carl Didde WorkPLACE (Work-related Print Learning and Career Enhancement) program. The program was developed by NAPL and maintained for 12 years before being turned over to GAERF. WorkPLACE provides students and existing employees with the skills necessary to succeed in the graphic communications field. It offers four fully developed and independent courses in math, critical thinking and problem solving, communications and the graphic arts process.
