Print companies urged to collaborate for new diploma
Posted on | August 18, 2008 |
The new Diploma in Manufacturing and Product Design will be available from 2009 in 27 areas across England.
Printers are encouraged to get involved by offering work experience schemes, an essential part of the course, or various associated projects.
The Diploma in Manufacturing and Product Design has been developed by five sector skills councils to equip young people with the skills needed to pursue a career in the industry. It will be taught from a curriculum designed in partnership with manufacturers plus a functional skills element.
Neil Robinson, training advisor at Proskills, said: “Having a qualification in schools that has been designed by the industry gives us an excellent opportunity. In order to get the benefits, it’s vital that businesses are actively involved in its delivery.
