GrowingCareers - Increasing awareness of Career Opportunities

GrowingCareers is a national industry careers program aimed to address the long-term skills shortage in the sector.  Market research indicated that many people don't consider a career in forest and wood products because they don't know anything about it. This program has been developed to help job seekers get a better understanding of the diversity of employment opportunities and locations on offer.
 
The GrowingCareers website features: 

  • A searchable database on careers within the industry
  • Hot jobs and video case studies

  • Industry information
