The graduate management programme for Professionals in Print and Media
The BPIF is delighted to launch its new Management Programme: a dynamic mixture of training, development and networking opportunities, which is rolling out this year with 200 learners on board.
The Graduate Management Programme for Professionals in Print and Media has been developed with input from across the industry supply chain to provide Managers and Technical Specialists within the industry with a personal and professional development plan.
The programme is aimed at key personnel who are committed to developing their skills and knowledge across all aspects of management. Whilst the content is tailored to the Print and Media Industry, the learning and qualifications are transferable to other sectors.
Managed by the BPIF, the Programme will be the leading trade organisation for the Print and Media Industry. The qualification will include BPIF Graduation and the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) Level 5 Diplomas in Management (NVQ) and Principles of Leadership & Management (VRQ). The ILM is the UK’s foremost leadership and management qualifications body, and the qualification is nationally recognised as equivalent to foundation degree level.
Whilst the programme has an overall structure, the detail of the programme can be tailored to suit the requirements of learners either on an individual basis or as clusters within specific regional groupings.
The timetable for the programme is scheduled over two years. It has been designed to allow delegates to actively contribute to continual performance improvement within their own organisation whilst continuing in their full time roles. Although there are no formal entry qualifications, participants will normally be in a position to apply the requirements of the NVQ programme.
This new management development programme is being jointly funded with the assistance of the Government’s Employer Ownership Programme (EOP).

Slight recovery of output and orders falls short of expectations in Q4 - confidence concerns mount in 2024
22 February 2024
Performance in the UK's printing and printed packaging industry did improve in Q4, as far as output and orders are concerned. However, it didn't come close to what would historically be considered the seasonal norm, nor quite match the subdued expectations for Q4.
