Next Generation Course an Outstanding Success

Details
Heidelberg recently ran the first Next Generation course at the
Melbourne Print Media Academy (PMA). Course participants, who came
from across the print media industry in Australia and New Zealand,
have declared the course an outstanding success.
The Next Generation course is designed specifically for the
Australia and New Zealand market, where participants can learn
skills to help them reach the next level in their career
development. Participants ranged from print shop managers, to
middle managers in larger enterprises and all were individuals
identified by their employers as potential leaders and managers for
the future.
Developed in consultation with international and local print
media experts, the Next Generation course covers topics such as
Marketing, Occupational Health and Safety, Management skills,
finance and accounting, leadership and print market trends. The
all-important topic of Eco responsibility was also covered,
recognising that managers of tomorrow must have a sound grasp of
this subject.
David Pell from RA Printing said of the course, "it was a
great seminar and a very positive experience. It was also a real
wake-up call to what's needed in order to succeed in the future."
Ricky Howes from GEON in New Zealand said, "I left the course
feeling empowered and eager to implement positive changes at work."
The Next Generation course will be run again in 2009 with
repeat programs planned for Melbourne as well as in Sydney and
Auckland, making the course more accessible to participants in
these large centres. Heidelberg's website and E-newsletter will
publish details of upcoming courses.
The Melbourne PMA is part of Heidelberg's global PMA network.
Built in 2007, the Melbourne PMA is a purpose-built demonstration
and training centre and one of three in the Asia-Pacific region
(with others located in Malaysia and China). Around the world
Heidelberg has 13 Print Media Academies.
