Design Print and Packaging Skillnet in partnership with The Irish Printing Federation, is proud to celebrate the graduation of the Print Media Technician Programme, which took place on 11th November in Naas.

This marks an important milestone for both the participants and the wider print industry. The programme, launched in 2023, was developed to address the sector’s growing need for structured, hands-on training and to ensure a sustainable pipeline of skilled professionals for the future.

Congratulations to all the students who have successfully completed the programme. Your hard work, commitment, and enthusiasm for the craft of print have set a strong example for the next generation of industry talent.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to all the companies who took part, providing support, mentorship, and on-the-job experience throughout the training journey. Your collaboration and investment in skills development continue to strengthen the foundations of Ireland’s print and packaging sector.

A special word of thanks to the British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF) for delivering this programme, and to Chris and Sarah at MERITS Naas for so generously hosting the graduation event.

As this first cohort steps forward into their professional careers, we wish every graduate the very best for the future and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make across the industry.

Together, through partnership and continuous learning, we can ensure that print in Ireland remains a vibrant, innovative, and future-focused sector.
