Frank Romano Spot on Regarding Education

November 14, 2006

Frank Romano is spot on regarding the need for an educated workforce and the generalized ennui from many sectors of the industry in student recruiting efforts. Everybody wants trained graduates but nobody wants to assist in the heavy lifting in turning high school students into college print students.

Frank correctly points out how soon their attitudes can change toward printing careers once they're in a program and outputting their own ink and paper artifacts. Suddenly, it's the coolest thing they've ever done.

We're reaching out to high school students by using our high end digital presses, wide format printers and flexo presses to output whatever they design in their high school graphics classes. The caveat is they have to jump on a bus and come out to the college to help print their work with our students.

When they output the logo for their own rock band on a 6' fabric banner or a few hundred feet of of 6" flexo labels (perfect for immediate adhesion to guitar cases, car bumpers and locker doors) you do absolutely own them.

Thank You,
Pete Rivard
Dunwoody College of Technology
