BPIF lauds Level 2 apprenticeship approval Jo Francis Tuesday, May 11, 2021 A BPIF-led consortium is celebrating after gaining approval for the much-needed Level 2 Print Operative apprenticeship standard. Level 2 Standard: recognition for "the engine-room of the industry" The BPIF called for input at the beginning of the year. It was able to bring the experience gleaned in successfully agreeing the Level 3 standard – which had been under threat – to the process, with Level 2 fast-tracked as a result. The consortium of printing industry firms that supported the process included representatives from CDS, De La Rue, Graphic Packaging International, Page Bros Group, Reach, Ryedale Group and Westrock Multi Packaging Solutions.
