One long-time PacPrint attendee wishes he was in Melbourne right now, while the debate over education and training continues.
Re: 10 reasons why you should go to PacPrint: Print 21 magazine article
Very much to my regret, the first reason I cannot go to PacPrint is my health and age. It will be the first time that I will not be going. I am 84 years old now and have a few health problems, and bad circulation in both my legs, which make walking difficult.
I will follow it all in the daily bulletin. I wish all the participants much success.

If the industry is serious about the training standards, employers should tell the so called fringe training institutions that that absolutely no employment will be offered to their students unless the qualifications meet or exceed that offered by RMIT and the other state's equivalent institutions.
Companies that espouse professionalism and high quality to their clients, peers and the community should apply the same rules in their employment practices.
Well-trained people earn money for the company simply by virtue of their qualifications, poorly trained staff cost money. No rocket surgery there!
Now is not the time to gamble with your business.
