“This is evidence that printing technology education is an important part of our industry and valued by our colleagues,” concluded Kerner. “The role of education and awareness of the printing and packaging industry among young people was a topic of discussion at all meetings at drupa. This success motivates the organising institutions to aim for the next drupa, as well as to establish the WorldSkills competitions as the most important meeting point for young, talented printing technology students. We will try to negotiate with the WorldSkills trade and professions management to bring back the printing technology competition with new sustainable and more digital solutions.”
