Investing in the Future of Our Industry
The Problem
Students are not being exposed to the wood industry as a career, they are not receiving certifiable training for entry level skills, and students are not encouraged to pursue post-secondary training with the wood industry in mind in our current education system. Ask yourself one question, did your high school counselor ever say to you, have you considered the wood industry as a career?
