APS22’s goal is to bring resources, ideas, education, and thought leadership together to address the critical need for workforce development.
Americas Print Show is working with our sponsors, schools, educators, exhibitors and community members to create conversation and connection with the next generation in print.
Our Workforce Development area on the APS show floor will be the center where all activities, thought leaders and potential new employees will gather. Plan to visit the booths in this area as you work finalize your daily schedule. Join in the discussions, networking and brainstorming around this critical issue!
