Three of the six awards presented to us in
2003 were in recognition of our training and development programme:
the Skills Recognition Scheme. The awards won were the BPIF National
Training and Development Award, the National Training Award (East
of England),
and Printing World’s Heidelberg Print Media Academy
Award for Training.
This scheme is one of the key elements that
underpinned the radical transformation of Cambridge Printing between
1999 and 2003. The scheme, a competency-based system of training
and development, pay and reward, was cited by the
Printing
World judges as an excellent example of what could be achieved through
training investment in times of rapid change.
