OpenArc School of Business and Technology has launched a Diploma in Desktop Publishing course as a job oriented training aimed at filling the vacancies existing in the graphic designing field of Sri Lanka. Students will be rained to work in both PC and MAC Platforms and will be given a fully comprehensive, practical and hands-on training in using the most modern graphic designing software such as CorelDRAW X5, Adobe Illustrator cs5, Adobe Photoshop cs5, Adobe InDesign cs5.

Speaking on the launching of the new Desktop Publishing Diploma course, OpenArc School of Business and Technology Managing Director Vijith Sinhabahu said, "A large amount of vacancies exist in the graphic designing field of Sri Lanka. But, there exists an immense lack of qualified graphic designers to fill these vacancies. Even though there are people with some basic training in graphic designing, the training they have received if not sufficient for them to join a graphic designing or publishing firm and work independently. OpenArc School of Business and Technology launched this Desktop Publishing Diploma course considering these factors. What is special in this course is that any student that completes the course successfully can join any organization and work independently."

Highly paid vacancies exist in the public and private sector organizations such as newspaper organizations, printing organizations and commercial advertising organizations for Computer Graphic designers. The aim of OpenArc School of Business and Technology is to prepare the youth of Sri Lanka to fill these vacancies. Professionals with extensive experience in graphic designing are conducting the lectures and practical training sessions at OpenArc. The students joining the new Desktop Publishing Diploma course at the OpenArc School of Business and Technology will be able to enjoy facilities such as laboratories equipped with the latest computers, air-conditioned class rooms, libraries and very competitive course charges;

The course will be conducted on week days and week ends.
