DISTANCE EDUCATION PROGRAMME:
Continuing Education for Working Professionals.
(A Report) :

The increased competition and the new markets thrown open to the Indian Industry, necessitates quality, cost reduction, innovations and diversification in products and services, and developments and transfer of technology essential. These in turn need for large scale redeployment and retraining of the work force.
Institute of Printing Technology is tuned, increasingly, to meet the requirements of continuing education of working professionals, to update and upgrade their knowledge by offering courses for varying purposes including updating knowledge and skills preparation for functional as well as career changes, obtaining advanced professional degrees, appreciation/awareness programs etc.
The continuing education is the utmost need of the hour ,and the most difficult to provide. The Management of Institute of Printing Technology plays an important role for uplifting the knowledge of working professionals.

INTRODUCTION:
To survive and remain competitive in a climate of such rapid scientific and technological advances, industrial establishments must undergo continuous structural and technological changes to develop new products and services and tap new avenues and markets. The development of modern science and technology and the demand for competent people caused by market competition are the development of continuing education programme in India.

To cope up with the changing demands of industry and society, engineers and working professionals have no choice but to constantly update and renew their knowledge through continuing education. Professionals, who ignore this life long education aspect in their professional career, run the risk of technological obsolescence and probably do not raise in their profession due to outdated knowledge they possess.
Apart from the need to overcome obsolescence and to ensure job growth and promotion, other reasons for continuing educations are:
. Filling the gap between formal college education and
the need of the industrial community.
. New job assignments and job enlargement.
. Greater responsibilities in new areas.
. Greater job appreciation and satisfaction-job enrichment.
. Emergence of New professional, industrial and commercial needs such as licensing, certification and certification.
. Complying with new company career development programmes.
. Learning the technologies required because of mergers and acquisitions.
. Introducing new technologies to developing nations to add in their technology transfer and growth.

WHO NEEDS CONTINUING EDUCATION?
There are five million people looking for continuing education in the Indian subcontinent. They can be broadly classified into 3 groups.
. The certificate holder looking for Diploma, Diploma holder looking for post graduate and post graduate holder looking for Ph.D. in their branch of Engineering, Technology and Management.
. The professionals interested in acquiring knowledge in Modern Printing and Packing techniques, and get certificate for enriching their career prospects by way of job incentives etc.
. Some professionals are interested in acquiring information in specific disciplines for the sake of acquiring knowledge and not for certification which may be called as non-credit programs.

ROLE OF CONTINUING EDUCATION:
Continuing education has become such an important means of promoting social and economic developments, that most of the countries are investing considerably towards this. It is a continuous process to update information and technology, apart from the formal courses. The working engineers/technocrats should have an opportunity to educate themselves on a day to day basis through Internet, TV and Newspapers.
The Continuing education is taking a greater momentum and it is spreading throughout the world. This will defiantly call for a networking of the Institutions in terms of utilization of infrastructure and expertise. The strength of this activity can be extended to other countries through networking of the countries.
With the rapid rate the technologies are changing and
even faster rates at which new technologies and disciplines are emerging, the In service technical personnel as well as the employers are desperately looking for organised services through which they could get assistance in periodically updating their knowledge and professional skills in emerging fields as microelectronics, computer technology, automation of industrial operations, laser beam technology, sophisticated instrumentation system, optimisation of resources, energy conservation, environmental protection etc. Hence sound programme of continuing education for the employed manpower has to be developed to provide ample opportunity for lifelong learning.
Technology is the driving force of industrial development. As interpreters of technology, printing engineers have a major role to play in Industrial competition. It is estimated that two third of the technology need by the year 2008, has not yet been invented while three out of four engineers working now will still be active then. In many areas it is also estimated that 20 percent of an engineer's knowledge becomes obsolete every year.
It is important to have individuals responsible for
developing continuing education. The reason is that unless people have continuing education as their main activity, they will not be able to experiment and explore the new opportunities that are most likely to produce the greatest impact. Additionally, the continuing education that is most needed is the most difficult to provide.
Today's Printing Technology is especially exciting with the multitude of carrier options available for today's graphic communication professionals. This includes management positions in Prepress (DTP), Press Room, Printing Management, Estimating, Customer Service, Technical Support Service, Multimedia, Screen Imaging, Distribution & Sales. The demand for printed products continues to grow. With more than 18,000 of firms & more than one million employees, the printing graphic arts industry is India's largest business. As on now, printing/ Packaging/Advertising industry is one of the fastest growing segment with the introduction of computers, scanners & Imaging Technology, etc.
