Staples Canada Attends BCIT Graphic Communications Open House
Earlier this year, Andy McClinton had the opportunity to attend BCIT’s Graphic Communications Open House. Andy is the Print Hub Manager in Vancouver with Staples Canada, a member of our dedicated donor community.
The Open House provided program students with a forum to display portfolios and projects and to connect with industry partners for work placement and co-op opportunities.
“I had a good opportunity to learn about their program by speaking with first-year and second-year students to see some examples of their work. I found the packaging projects they completed on their new flatbed cutter particularly interesting. I also had an opportunity to speak with some of the program heads and learn about their co-op and internship programs”, mentioned Andy.
In BCIT’s Graphic Communications program, students learn to design and produce a wide range of compelling and visually appealing graphic products, such as packaging and marketing materials, architectural and vehicle wraps, signage and billboards, magazines and posters, t-shirts and other specialty printing.
Also attending was Canadian Print Scholarships Trustee, Jason Schneider of Spicers Canada, another great member of our donor community.
With support from our dedicated donors, Canadian Print Scholarships, provides scholarships to students at BCIT and other schools across Canada. Thank you so much!
“The mission of Canadian Print Scholarships is to attract the brightest and best students available to the graphic communications industry by providing financial assistance to enroll and continue in a post-secondary management or technical program at an approved institution.”
