Ipex 2017 takes place at the NEC from 31 October to 3 November 2017
The Future Skills Zone at Ipex 2017 will showcase the world of print to up and coming talent as part of a drive to solve skills shortages within the print industry and allied trades.
‘We want to encourage anyone looking for a fulfilling career to attend,’ said Ipex event director Rob Fisher. ‘Ipex wants to play a significant role in assisting the print industry with its efforts to regenerate itself and one of the key ways is to help it address the talent shortage.’
‘The Future Skills Zone will enable us to demonstrate the range of opportunities, and the quality of training and development available, key to both attracting individuals into the sector and to ensuring we have a great, highly trained and skilled workforce for the future,’ commented Charles Jarrold, CEO of The British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF).
Students can connect with industry training providers, meet representatives from print and manufacturing businesses, and listen to presentations delivered by industry apprentices.
Ipex has partnered with BPIF, IPIA, Picon and The Printing Charity to deliver the Future Skills Zone.
