First Danish Roland DG Academies Prove Successful
Copenhagen , Denmark – Roland DG North Europe has opened Roland DG Academies in cooperation with Copenhagen Technical Academy & Polytech and Media College Aalborg, two graphical schools residing in each part of Denmark. This worldwide initiative was carried out during the fall of 2008 and is currently enjoying a great deal of success.
The academies are aimed at serving as state of the art educational facilities at the schools containing select models from Roland DG's product catalogue that best serve the schools' and their students' needs and focus areas. Each day the academies are being used by students and the academies play an important role in taking their projects to a higher level. The latest examples of activities in the academies have been the production of artwork aimed at helping communicate the advantages of Copenhagen Technical Academy & Polytech to potential students at an event at Copenhagen City Hall.
In turn Media College Aalborg has had great success in showing the wide possibilities of digital printing to its students since the opening of their academy. This type of collaboration has been greatly emphasized by the Danish government as it contributes to improve skills and innovation in the graphical business in the long run.
The collaboration is also an opportunity for Roland DG to communicate the company's core strengths and values to future employees of the graphical business while at the same time being able to utilize the academies as demo and seminar facilities for the graphical business as an added value in connection with sales.
One or two more Danish academies will be planned before implementing the concept to other markets of Roland DG Northern Europe.
