Buddy System (Student for a Day)
The NAIT Buddy System provides an opportunity for prospective students to spend a day teamed with a NAIT student, to attend classes and laboratory sessions, to ask questions and experience NAIT first hand.
“Great design will not sell an inferior product,
but it will enable a great product to achieve its maximum potential."
-Thomas J. Watson Jr.
Graduates start their careers in various graphic design companies, printing plants, advertising agencies, in-house design and publishing departments, electronic pre-press studios and newspapers. The skill sets that students learn throughout the program are transferable across Canada and the United States. Our grads have secured employment in large urban centres as well as remote rural communities. Once students gain some industry experience, there are also opportunities to engage in freelance projects. The following is a sampling of companies that are partners in education with the Graphic Communications program and graduates:
Alberta Restructuring and Government Efficiency
Page Master Publication Service
