Case for Change
The objective of the Consolidated Print Training project is to review and update training package components related to skills in the areas listed below.
This project will update ICP qualifications currently in the training package, and is based on three approved Cases for Change for the Printing and Graphic Arts Training Package:
- Industry knowledge and employability skills
- Design, marketing and other pre-press technical units of competency
- Print and post-press technical units of competency
The AISC endorsed these projects in June 2018, August 2018 and February 2019.

Note: The Case for Change for Industry knowledge and employability skills is contained within the Industry Skills Forecast and Proposed Schedule of Work 2018

Consultation
PwC’s Skills for Australia conducted industry consultations from September 2018 to April 2019 for this project on behalf of the Printing and Graphic Arts Industry Reference Committee.
Consultation focussed on determining what changes are required to update to the ICP Training Package following the consolidation of qualifications in 2015.
This included:
- identifying improvements to structure and packaging rules for ICP qualifications to provide greater clarity about the skills they provide and how they relate to jobs in printing operations and print preparation
- updating existing units of competency to include new technology used by the industry and remove units which have been identified by industry as being out of date or duplicative
- exploring the need for new skills sets in specialist areas in the industry.

Training Product Development
Following the Printing and Graphic Arts (ICP) Industry Reference Committee’s (IRC) approval of our key findings from consultation, we have developed draft training products.
These products were available online for public feedback in July 2019. They are now available for a final review period until COB September 27, 2019.

The next step is to develop a Case for Endorsement for consideration by the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC).
