The Printing Charity is now accepting applications for its 2023 Rising Star Awards, the largest dedicated awards programme for those aged 18-30 working in print, packaging, paper, publishing and graphics.
The awards provides recipients with funding of up to £1,500 for training that develops the skills and knowledge that will grow their personal skillset, beyond the training they are already undertaking in their current professional role.
Printing Charity CEO, Neil Lovell, said: “Through speaking to employers in the industry we know that building a portfolio of personal skills such as problem solving, resilience, confidence and effective communication is crucial to help young people develop their career ambitions, stand out, grow and thrive. The Rising Star Awards offer a great way for businesses to underpin their commitment to developing and nurturing the young talent in their organisation by supporting them in their application to develop these skills.
“I’d encourage anyone thinking of applying to speak to their manager, mentor or HR teams to discuss their career ambitions, and what they could apply for to help achieve these. I’d also encourage anyone working in print who knows potential Rising Stars, in their own organisation or within their wider network, to ensure they are aware of what the Awards scheme can offer.”
Applications close Sunday 2nd April 2023.
