Wood association launches Web site for career info

Tacoma, Wash.— APA, the Engineered Wood Assn., has launched the APA Career Center, a Web site that allows users to find career opportunities in the U.S. and Canadian wood industry.

APA teamed with member companies to create the career site, www.apawood.org/jobs . Employment opportunities include such positions as mill machinery operators, business management team members, engineers, scientists, marketing experts and support staff.

"The Career Center was created to provide a simple tool for users to search for job opportunities in the wood industry, as well as for employers to post job listings and expand their pool of talented candidates," said LaDauna Wilson, APA's Web coordinator.

For students and others interested in the wood industry, the Web site also provides links to colleges and universities in North America that offer programs related to forestry, science, technology and business practices for wood products.

A 30-day job posting costs $95. Members of APA, originally known as the American Plywood Assn., and the Engineered Wood Technology Assn. can post openings for $45 rate.
