Education and Training Excellence Award

This award recognises educational institutions, training academies, and organisations that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to developing women’s talent in print and packaging. The award honours institutions that have gone beyond conventional teaching to create meaningful pathways for women through curriculum innovation, specialised training modules, workshops, seminars, masterclasses, industry exposure, and hands-on learning opportunities.

The Jury will look for evidence of impactful initiatives such as structured certification programmes, partnerships with industry, placement support, mentoring networks, in-house training centres, and efforts that encourage women to pursue technical, production, design, or managerial careers in the sector.

Entries may be submitted by institutions themselves, their faculty or training divisions, or collaborating industry partners who can validate the outcomes.
