Training & Development
Practical knowledge for modern print production
Minerva Evolution’s online training (available from January 2027) gives learners a structured grounding in the technical side of print, labels and packaging. It’s built by people who have trained apprentices and worked in the industry, and it focuses on what people need to understand to work confidently and efficiently in a production environment.
What it covers
Our modules cover the main print processes, including offset lithographic, flexographic, digital, gravure and screen printing, along with pre-press and finishing. They also build an understanding of colour, communication and health and safety in a print environment. Each section includes short tests throughout and ends with a scored assessment, so learners and employers can track progress.. Learners can work through it at their own pace, from anywhere.
Who it’s for
- Employers who want to develop new starters or upskill their existing team
- People new to print, including school and college leavers, career changers and jobseekers who want a route into the industry
- Education and employment partners looking for industry-relevant content to support learners
Alongside the online training
Face-to-face training is available by arrangement, and we can support your business further through on-site operational reviews and training matrices built around your team.
Work with us
Whether you’re an employer, an education provider or an organisation supporting people into work, we’d be glad to talk about how our training could help.
The print industry is facing real and growing pressure around skills, onboarding and workforce consistency — and the businesses that address these challenges now will be better placed for the future.
Retention
Experienced staff are retiring or moving on, and their knowledge is gradually being lost across many production environments. When skills are passed on informally, standards become diluted and gaps go unnoticed until they cause issues.
Reliance
Many businesses still rely heavily on informal training, individual experience and long-standing operational habits that become difficult to sustain as teams change and production demands increase.
Sustainability
As print environments continue to evolve, stronger development pathways and better visibility across the workforce are becoming increasingly important to long-term operational stability and future industry growth.
