WHY EDUCATION?

It used to be that a person could drop out of high school and start working at a wood products company pulling lumber or sweeping floors. With enough time and effort, they could slowly work their way up the ladder and get into a supervisory position.

For the most part, you can kiss those days good-bye.

Today's wood products industry is one of the most technologically advanced industries out there. Right up there with aerospace, actually. Companies needed highly skilled employees.

Graduates from wood processing programs get snapped up quickly. But there aren't enough of them to go around.

Industry is determined to get more. That's why they've created this web site.

And they are heavily involved in new wood processing programs.

But you should hear it from them.
