Live Group Training

Sublimation Workshops - Home Team Training Camps

Every year, Johnson Plastics offers live, regional customer training and workshop opportunities at each of our eight branch locations across the country. With an expanded 2013 program including both a novice and an advanced training day as well as opportunities for individual business coaching, this year's Home Team Training Camps offer our valued sublimation customers even more opportunities to receive current, interactive training at a JP center nearby!

Each location will have two workshop-style classes focused on two separate needs: (1) the "ROOKIE CLASS" is designed for customers new to sublimation and is focused on getting you up and running quickly; and (2) the "MVP CLASS' caters to customers with over one year of sublimation experience and introduces more advanced sublimation concepts and projects. In order to ensure there is the necessary space available for each type of student, we ask you not sign up for both days.

While we often customize and cater each event to the regional branch (based on space, special guests, strategic partners, etc.), below is a general break-down of each individual training day scheduled for our eight branch locations. Please check the individual registration pages for the most-up-to-date information.
