Choosing a Career in the Graphic Communication Industry

The printing industry is one of the largest manufacturing industries in the world, offering a wide variety of exciting employment and career opportunities. A new video entitled The Pathway to Prosperity, Choosing a Career in the Graphic Communication Industry, designed to promote the advantages of a career in the field, features Ben Franklin (played by well known Franklin character actor Ralph Archbold) and Jeff Hayzlett, Chief Business Development Officer and Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company. The nine-minute video, jointly produced by Kodaks Graphic Communications Group and the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF), provides a comprehensive and entertaining overview of the graphic arts as a high tech, fast paced, modern industry—in stark contrast to the industry of Ben Franklins days. In his conversation with Franklin, Hayzlett contrasts the graphic communications industry of today with the printing industry of the 1700s.
