Bridging the Gaps examines the skill gaps of the Canadian printing and graphic communications industry’s workforce, compares skill shortfalls against available training from employers and educators, and then presents a training-delivery model for the industry to guide employees on the path to life-long learning.

- prepress operators
- output specialists
- colour specialists
- lithographic web offset press operators
- lithographic sheet-fed offset press operators
- flexographic press operators
- digital press operators
