BROADVIEW, Ill.—In an age where U.S. manufacturing jobs are vulnerable at best, and disappearing at worst, DiTrolio Flexographic Institute (DFI), a state-of-the-art training facility for the flexographic printing industry located just outside of Chicago, is reaching out to area high school students with an important message: You have choices. DFI representative Tom Anderson said, “We want high school kids to know that there are well-paying jobs available in the flexographic printing industry.” The institute is sending Anderson to high schools all over the Chicago area to educate students about flexographic printing, its need for press operators, and the benefits of a career in “flexo.”
