Publishing as a career is seldom discussed in schools or colleges, and most people enter the publishing field by default - many of them learn on-the-job. As in any modern industry, there is a need for specialist knowledge and a systematic learning of the processes of publishing. |

Recent studies indicate a major global market for content developers. Publishing skills, which include content sourcing, content development, content value addition, and content delivery, would be in great demand. VNIP recognizes and reckons for the changing domain of publishing skills and imparts systematic learning of the systems and processes of publishing using traditional and new methods. |

The courses are enriched by frequent inputs from visiting lecturers from publishing, book selling and printing companies. These visitors are invariably leading figures in their areas of specialization and bring state-of-the-art information directly into the courses. There are a number of opportunities during the course to visit publishing and printing houses. |
