Develop knowledge and skills across the spectrum of design, pre-press, printing, and post-press finishing in the Graphic and Print Technician program—the only program of its kind in Manitoba to teach flexographic printing and feature an onsite large Heidelberg press.
The combination of classroom theory, hands-on training in various techniques (including vehicle wraps), applied learning through a work practicum placement, and the foundation of employability and essential skills you gain from MITT’s Work Skills Series workshops ensure you graduate career-ready for a variety of opportunities in Manitoba’s robust printing industry.
Who it is for
Individuals who want to apply their creativity in the fast-paced world of manufacturing, who are equally in their element working at a desktop or operating large machinery, and who value accuracy and delivering a product that exceeds a customer’s expectations.
Continuous Program Improvement
MITT continuously reviews and improves programs to maintain relevance in the workplace and effective learning experiences for all students. Although the institution strives to have the website reflect the most current version of all programs, MITT reserves the right to change the program curriculum as necessary to meet industry and accreditation requirements. As a result, course information and learning outcomes may be adjusted prior to the scheduled course start date.
COVID-19 Response
Due to the challenges raised by COVID-19, MITT reserves the right to alter course delivery methods and/or program durations. Course deliveries may require increased percentages of online/distance learning components, alternatives to work practicums, and extended program durations to accommodate physical distancing and work practicum placement restrictions. MITT will be providing an exceptional level of enhanced student and program supports to ensure this modified program experience continues to meet all required learning outcomes for your program.

4-week work practicum or project
The unpaid Work Practicum normally takes place during the month following the last course of study. A Work Practicum will be available to students that have met the employability skills outcomes of the program.
Students with overall achievement below 70% or that have issues which could limit their internship placement will be offered real-world projects within the classroom environment in place of a Work Practicum.
MITT does not guarantee practicum placements and, in such situations, the Institute will explore alternative options for program completion with a student.
