Forest Worker Certificate Program
Overview
The Forest Worker Certificate Program was developed to prepare future workers for employment in one of the South’s largest industries. Employment opportunities vary greatly and include jobs in logging, forest management, timber procurement, sawmills, plywood mills, pulp and paper mills and a wide variety of companies that provide goods and services to the forest industry.
This curriculum has been developed specifically for application across the South. Although many examples from Alabama are used, similar forests, management techniques, harvesting operations and mill operations are found in Alabama.
