What's being said about WoodLINKS....
"It has been repeatedly said, written and proven that the number one issue in the wood industry is lack of qualified employees. Now there is an educational movement that can truly impact this desperate need for all sectors of our industry. It is becuase of my belief that WoodLINKS USA is a the answer that I support the teachers and these new programs which are already making a difference in our industry. By cultivating partnerships between industry and schools this movement is spreading throughout the United States and will surely be the way to stay competitive in the future."
Stiles Education Center
"WoodLINKS has given our program more integrity. The certification requirements are difficult and yet attainable for most students. They are able to take their Introductory and Advanced Certificates to potential employers to show proof of their success in this field of study."
"Appreciate the support provided by industry memebers and the WoodLINKS USA Board. This provides the much needed "moral" support for teachers across the USA."
KCTC Michigan
"It's time for business to make greater demands on education and it is tiem for business to be more involved with education."
US Education Secretary
