The Printing Industries of Michigan, Inc. has created the PIM Education Foundation, a separate, non-profit trust entity. An educational foundation created to aid the graphic arts industry in ensuring a continuous supply of motivated and skilled personnel at every level from press operators and keyliners to managers and CEOs, capable of powering the graphic arts industries into the 21st century.
Our aging population means a smaller pool of available workers in the future. The rapid pace of technological change will require an ability to learn and think critically... a skill our educational system has not done enough to develop. These demographic and technical realities have already resulted in fierce competition for qualified employees in all industries.
We must find, train, nurture, cultivate and educate our graphic arts industry employees of tomorrow!!
Potential contributors to the foundation insert all persons and entities with an interest in the graphic arts industry.
Contributions to the PIM Education Foundation are welcome in any size, from five dollars to thouands of dollars. There are two basic ways to give: cash contributions and securities.
