Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, workshops and hands-on courses at the Roland Academy have been put on hold.
But now the Roland Academy team have taken the opportunity to focus exclusively on producing content to support Roland’s We Are Here campaign.
Joe Wigzell, academy manager for Roland DG, said: “Training is one of those things that we like to put off until we have more time, and now that most of us are stuck at home, it’s the perfect time to build your skills and knowledge.
“We already provide loads of webinars and online support videos, but it’s something we’ve always wanted to focus more on, this has been a great chance to build a structured programme of handy, useful and hopefully engaging content.”
Topics for the coming weeks include Time Saving Tips, Bitmaps & Vectors, Improving your Business, Personalisation and Setting up Your Workshop. The content will be delivered on a regular basis in the following formats:
- Five in Five
Even though you have more spare time, you might not want to spend it all learning how to do your job more effectively. Every Tuesday, Roland will publish a short video featuring five tips in five minutes or less, giving you a short blast of essential information.
- Webinars
Despite having no access to Roland DG equipment, Roland Academy’s popular webinar series will continue, albeit from the homes of Joe and his second-in-command, Ollie Bishop. To get around the unavailability of a printer, they have updated the webinar schedule to include more theory-based content, design tips and software walkthroughs.
- Roland Elevenses
At 11am, every Friday morning, you can join the Academy team in a Facebook Live broadcast. “It’s the end of the week and everybody is starting to wind down, so these are pretty informal little chats,” says Joe. “We talk about everything from application advice to marketing tips, but we’ve also had some great recommendations for Netflix series to watch!” Following each live event, the recording is made available for anyone to re-watch or catch up at later date.
