Training Information System is designed to provide a service to 
trainers and trainees associated with the primary and secondary forest

education training opportunities that will meet the criteria they have 
established. Providing such training will enhance opportunities for the 
industry, while helping keep the industry competitive in the world 
market.

products industry. Upon registration, trainees will be able to access 
the database to find information about training programs, workshops, 
and short courses that meet the needs of wood products companies and 
employees. Trainees will be able to search and save information 
regarding training courses of interests and create a training profile 
that will automatically match the trainee to courses.
