Case Study: Thaddeus Stevens College prepares print students for real-world production with PressWise

Thaddeus Stevens College prepares 20 students for print careers with PressWise

Thaddeus Stevens College, a premier technical institution, sought to modernize its Graphic Communications and Printing Technology program to better prepare students for the evolving print industry. The challenge was to provide a real-world, production-based education that would teach students the crucial business and software operations used in modern print shops, moving beyond just technical press skills.

The college implemented PressWise, an all-in-one print estimating and workflow automation solution, as the main software for its Printing Processes courses. PressWise provided a hands-on learning environment where students manage the full production cycle from estimating and job batching to invoicing and storefront management. This solution increased student engagement, gave them invaluable career-ready skills, and allowed the in-house student-run print facility to operate smoothly, preparing a new generation of workers for the print industry.
