Frequently Asked Questions

SOGT (Sign of a Good Time) is four companies in one: a modern print services company, a skills training academy, a business automation platform, and a strategic infrastructure partner. We help everyday people, businesses, and institutions build something real through print, training, automation, and strategy.

We work with three main groups: individuals who want to learn skills or start businesses, businesses that need print services and automation tools, and institutions (schools, workforce agencies, government) that want to help people succeed.

We're based in Columbus, Ohio but serve clients nationwide. Our print services include nationwide installation through our installer network, the Academy welcomes students from anywhere through workforce funding partnerships, and our digital products are available to everyone.
