Bridge College, well known for its work supporting students with special educational needs, is launching its own online enterprise. To cater to the community and businesses the college has opened its own online print shop selling high quality customized T-shirts, mugs and bags.
This venture is not simply a business, but an active training ground for students, engaging them in design, production and customer service. The Print Room seeks to provide students with experience that harnesses creativity, working within the real world to develop experience and skills so that they can step out confidently into employment.
Printing is embedded in the curriculum of the college. From creative design concepts to running high-tech printing machinery, students are engaged in every step of the process. With guidance from veteran staff, they learn how to process orders and keep quality consistent through production. Students also develop ICT skills managing and updating the online store, sending out email receipts and responding to customer queries.
