Welcome to WoodLINKS USA

In the face of a critical shortage of skilled personnel entering the wood manufacturing industry, WoodLINKS USA was established as a partnership between industry and education. WoodLINKS USA is an industry driven, secondary and post-secondary woodworking training program, helping to build and maintain a strong, skilled workforce so that U.S. manufacturers can remain competitive in today’s challenging economic environment.

The long term intent of WoodLINKS USA is to provide our wood industry with the necessary skilled workers to remain competitive at the entry and middle management levels. WoodLINKS USA encourages a cooperative big-brother approach between the woodworking industry and the education system. Individual companies support the local program by providing advice, encouragement, materials and opening doors to make students and teachers aware of the technologies being used today.
