About Us

The printing and graphic communications industry is the third largest in the manufacturing world. In Australia the industry employs over 120,000 people in 6,000 businesses. The value of production from this industry is over $15 billion. In an industry this big there has to be great career opportunities.

Have you ever tried to imagine what the world would be like without printing? Take a look at just a few of the things we produce and you'll wonder where we'd be without them:

Magazines, posters, brochures, CD labels & jackets, shirts, tickets, sheet music, comics, newspapers, take away food containers, stickers, labels, food packaging, cartons & boxes, biscuit wrapping, and thousands more things.

The printing and graphic communications industry needs people with many different skills and abilities to take on a range of apprenticeships and traineeships. You may be a practical, hands-on type, or you may be a more creative type, or both, but as long as you are well organised and enthusiastic there are numerous opportunities for you.

The industry needs people with practical skills to manage and control the printing process where hands-on skills and a certain amount of creativity merge as one. People with similar abilities are needed to take the raw printed product and transform it into finished products ready for the buyer. For those with some computer literacy and strong creative skills there are careers in designing printed products and preparing them for printing.  There's an apprenticeship or traineeship that is sure to suit your plans for your future.
