At the back end of 2013 Image Reports launched a new campaign called ‘Turning on the Talent’. The premise is simple – we all work in a very creative and innovative industry, but it isn't considered sexy! If we're going to make this an attractive career proposition for the hottest talent out there we need to do something about it. So throughout 2014 Image Reports will be talking to print companies that are being proactive and pushing the envelope in terms of identifying, recruiting, training, retaining and enthusing new talent. You can read the case studies below.
January/February 2014: The university challenge
As Image Reports kicks off a new series of 'Turning on the Talent articles the starter question goes to the Simpson Group. How are they doing just that?
March 2014: Fishing for franchises
The franchise chain Fastsigns has changed its recruitment and training tactics in order to strengthen its brand and grow its UK network. Garth Allison discusses apprenticeships and the new roles being created at the company.
April 2014: Dream, dream, dream
Now in its second year as a school 'twinner' for the PrintIt! campaign, Learn to Dream explains how it is inspiring young people with various educational schemes that showcase the possibilities of print.
May 2014: Bringing the outside in
Amari Plastics explains the benefits of bringing in talent, particularly graduates, from outside of the print industry. The main advantage? The new perspectives they bring to print.
If you think your company is Turning on the Talent and making the print industry a top career proposition for new talent then get involved in our campaign and let our readers know about it. Email Lesley.simpson@imagereportsmag.co.uk for more information. We want to hear from print companies, universities and anybody who is intent on filling the wide-print industry with new talent.
