TRAINING & EDUCATION
Educate Your Employees
Having a systematic way to train your team and improve performance is crucial as companies compete for business and struggle to grow margins. Most companies improve over time; however those that improve the fastest, driving wasted time and materials out of processes, gain the competitive upper hand. We provide the training and educational resources you need to succeed and grow. Take advantage of our seminars, webinars, training videos as well as a member portal, which ushers in a new reality of self-paced, online training classes geared to the graphic communications industry.

Still not convinced of the value of training?
An industry study closely examines the differences between Profit Leaders and Profit Challengers. We’ve noticed a few things:
-
Profit Leaders spend a higher proportion of their payrolls (over twice as much, in fact) on education and training than do Profit Challengers.
-
Profit Leaders are more likely to have formal training programs for top management, administrative, production/technical, and sales and customer service employees.
