The Forest Products Association
of Canada (FPAC), with support from the Government of Canada, is today
launching TheGreenestWorkforce.ca, a resource tool that provides information on
the dynamic direction of the industry and career opportunities on offer right
across the country.
The industry is also launching a
competition to give eight promising students across Canada a paid Green Dream
Internship that includes a four month paid summer placement at a forest
products company, an iPad Mini and a chance to win $5000.
Under Vision2020, FPAC has a set
the goal of recruiting at least 60,000 or more workers by 2020 to meet the
growing demand for such professions as millwrights, electricians, engineers,
sales staff, truck drivers, foresters, chemists and many more.
