Certifying Tomorrow's Sign Makers
Mouat's own Mr. Liversidge and the work he does in his program has recently been highlighted in SignMedia, a national publication dedicated to the sign making industry. His students, as a part of his Graphic Design course, are earning certification in the sign-making industry. Here is an excerpt from the article:
"One person addressing this challenge [of finding the next generation of sign makers] is David Liversidge, who heads a sign design program at W.J. Mouat Secondary School in Abbotsford, B.C., and is a member of Sign Media Canada's editorial advisory board (EAB). He has been working with SAC in recent years to develop a certification program for his students."
"To my knowledge, it is the first of its kind for the sign industry in Canada," he says. "The idea is for the kids to earn a document they can then take to a sign shop as certification of their training and abilities."
