Confederation College hosts workshops to inspire youth to seek employment in the new forest industry
On August 19th, Thunder Bay's The Chronicle Journal published an article titled Discovering New Industry which outlined Confederation College workshops designed to inspire northern Ontario youth to participate in the changing forest industry.
The article outlines that youth took part in workshops discussing some of the "new and exciting initiatives [existing in] the industry today", such as value added wood products, using forest biomass for energy, and producing electricity and heat, geographical information systems, and traditional ecological knowledge.
Confederation College's Natural Resource Centre manager expresses that the aim of the workshops was to "hopefully generate some interest in career opportunities" within the forest industry.
