The Victorian chapter of the Lithographic Institute of Australia (LIA) is inviting members and interested parties – ‘all people in print’ - to a tour of Holmesglen, followed by a celebration of the year’s top apprentices with the presentation of the 2025 LIA Victoria Graduate of the Year Awards.
The Holmesglen Institute runs 3 Cert III Apprenticeship courses out of its Chadstone campus, in Prepress, Printing and Finishing
Situated in a small suburb called Chadstone, about 15km south-east of the Melbourne CBD, Holmesglen is one of the largest government-owned TAFEs in the state of Victoria, and has been providing vocational and higher education for over 40 years, currently to more than 140,000 graduates.
The print school there offers a range of courses, aimed at providing graduates with the skills they need to become job-ready across a wide range of emerging industry opportunities. LIA Victoria President, Robyn Frampton, says: “You can’t under-state the importance of education and training institutes like Holmseglen to the future of our industry. This is a great opportunity to talk to some of the trainers and educators there to get a real insight into how the industry professionals of the future are being prepared for a career in our dynamic and exciting sector.”
LIA Victoria President Robyn Frampton“It is also a great opportunity to celebrate and meet with some of the best and brightest up-and-coming talent in our industry, as we announce our six finalists in Victoria’s Graduate of the Year Awards and acknowledge one of them as the overall winner.”
