This is an excellent and timely article by Pat McGrew.
The topic is one that I am frequently contacted about by industry employers concerned about the shortage of employee interested in joining of the printing industry. This concern will be addressed in-depth at the upcoming programs on October 25, 2023 produced by Deborah Corn of the Print Media Centr. One is Internet Print Day, and the other is Print Across America. See:

Anyone interested in strategies for attracting employees to our industry and your companies should participate in either or both of these programs. I prepared the following article for these programs that will be discussed at the closing session of the International Print Day conference.
