"There are a lot of opportunities right now. Truck drivers, mechanics, almost any military occupational specialty fits in our industry right now." #VeteransDay
As logging, log trucking, and other forest industry-related employers are increasingly concerned about the availability of skilled personnel entering the workforce, the community of veterans and reservists is a great place to look for potential employees in our industry. These men and women’s skillsets and their broader character and experience profiles make them excellent candidates for employment. During this National Forest Products Week, FRA would like to introduce the community of veterans to forestry employment and what it may offer to the career goals of transitioning veterans. We would also like to draw forestry and logging employers’ attention to the potential of veterans to fill out their teams. Please check out our veterans page on the FRA website for resources. #ForestProductsWeek http://ow.ly/AQ2i50wSYnY
Military veterans employed in forestry describe logging, log trucking, and related work opportunities and point out why transitioning veterans should consider in-woods careers.
