PIA/GATF Announces Student Landing Page on GAIN Web site
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Responding to the fast-paced electronic environment of today’s students, PIA/GATF, its educational services office, and the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF) have created a Student’s Guide to Careers in Graphic Communications page on the association’s Web site (www.gain.net). Students interested in careers in the industry, those who want information on colleges with graphic communications programs, and those searching for scholarship information can click on the word Students in the Quick Links section of GAIN.
The student landing page opens to a quick-paced, two-minute video, Introduction to Graphic Communications. PIA/GATF worked with Printing Industry of Minnesota (PIM) to bring this video to GAIN. “We were pleased to be asked to team with PIA/GATF to use our now-modified video on the national Web site,” said David Radziej, president of PIM. “Our industry needs to reach out to students in the video and electronic environment of their choice.”
“We are delighted to have this highlighted vehicle where all of the information is grouped and linked so students can find it quickly, get the information they need, and apply in a timely manner,” said PGSF Administrator Bernie Eckert.
The Introduction to Printing and Graphic Communications video has also been uploaded to YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT_T9hyDY48), along with other graphic communications videos. “This is a great tool to capture the attention of young people who are looking for an exciting career,” said Michael Makin, president and CEO of PIA/GATF.
