PRINTING & GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS

This challenging and rewarding training program thoroughly prepares its graduates to enter the comprehensive printing and graphic communications field at an "advanced" apprentice level. Techniques of pre-press, offset printing and finishing are stressed. Among the major task divisions that are taught within the course are composition and design, computer to plate procedures, press operations and bindery. The equipment used in the printing course is equal to the equipment used in today’s medium to large print shops. In addition to printing theory, learning is enhanced by completing actual production printing projects. Program graduates may enter employment or pursue advanced degrees at various technical schools or colleges.
