There are nationally recognised qualifications available to support every job role in our industry.
Increasingly, advances in technology and the development of new types of timber and wood products mean workers in the forest, wood, paper and timber products industry require different and more sophisticated skills. The Forest, Wood and Timber Products Industry Reference Committee (IRC) and Pulp and Paper Manufacturing Industry IRC guide the development of qualifications that cover the full spectrum of job roles in our industry – from Certificates I, II, II and IV, to Diploma and Advanced Diploma. ForestWorks has a role in facilitating this process.
