Interested in a Career in Print?

 

It's your opportunity to learn more about possibilities in the printing industry.

Student Print Day events bring together students with an interest in the printing industry and their potential employers. Tours of printing companies, design competition and awards make it a day of both learning and fun.

PIM has been busy this past winter and spring of 2008 promoting print t students!  Starting in late February and cruising into May, PIM facilitated six Student Print Days (SPD).  We also participated in or spoke to more than 20 high schools or programs using our new "Careers in Print" DVD to get the point across that Print is a great career path!

At PIM, we believe recruiting and promoting Print is a number one priority in Minnesota.  These kids are our future and we will need them in large numbers in the next 10 years - competition will be fierce!  At each career fiar, there were 30-40 companies or organizations participating, promoting careers in health, construction, administration, government and much more.  These kids have lots of options.
