The awards are grants of up to £1,500 open to UK residents aged 18 to 30 years, supporting workplace skills and routes into employment in the UK printing, paper, packaging, publishing, and graphic arts sector.

The charity wants to hear from apprentices and those studying for NVQs in UK print-related organisations, people already working in UK print-related organisations looking to develop their workplace skills and those completing a recognised UK qualification and intending to take their first print-related role in the sector in 2019.
