In a recent issue of the Galley Proof newsletter, we wrote about Frank Romano’s WhatTheyThink.com article exploring the declining number of students studying and entering the printing industry. Due to the overwhelming amount of feedback, Romano chose to ruminate the same topic again; he also includes feedback from several readers and members of the printing community. Click here to read more & comment.
In his article, Romano quotes Heidelberg’s Larry Kroll as saying, “In short, no one company, organization or individual can solve the graphic arts talent shortage alone. We need an organized, cooperative initiative that transcends the special interests of the participants, and focuses on the preparation of our next generation graphic arts workforce.” Romano himself goes on to say, “The printing industry is in the top ten of industries that have donated the most for scholarships. The design industry is almost at the bottom. Let the design industry take care of design students, and let the printing industry take care of printing students.” Romano suggests, among other things, creating a centralized website to serve as a clearinghouse for information on scholarships available to printing students.
