PMP Print backs up for another national training award

PMP Print received an industry award for the second year in a row in the Innovation and Business category at the Australian Training Awards, which were held at the Crown Entertainment Complex in Melbourne this week.

The company’s Moorebank NSW facility, PMP Print, has developed a training program that TAFE, other training bodies and industry groups have identified as an industry training benchmark. A combination of on-the-job technical training for production-based staff and off-site professional development for administrative personnel has bolstered the number of staff with formal qualifications from 47 percent to 86 percent.


According to a Training Authority press release, training at PMP Print has facilitated a culture of ongoing improvements such as standardized procedures across departments, a reduction in print and landfill waste and lost time injuries.

According to ANTA chairman, David Hind, the key to becoming internationally competitive is recognition by employers that training is absolutely critical to achieving success.

“Employers such as PMP Print are setting the standard in on-the-job training, and are reaping the rewards as a result,” said Hind.
