The Next Generation course is designed specifically for the Australia and New Zealand market, where participants can learn skills to help them reach the next level in their career development. Participants ranged from print shop managers, to middle managers in larger enterprises and all were individuals identified by their employers as potential leaders and managers for the future.

Developed in consultation with international and local print media experts, the Next Generation course covers topics such as Marketing, Occupational Health and Safety, Management skills, finance and accounting, leadership and print market trends. Heidelberg says the all-important topic of Eco responsibility was also covered, recognising that managers of tomorrow must have a sound grasp of this subject.

The Next Generation course will be run again in 2009 with repeat programs planned for Melbourne as well as in Sydney and Auckland, making the course more accessible to participants in these large centres. Heidelberg’s website and E-newsletter will publish details of upcoming courses.
