INSIDE NHLA
A Message from the NHLA Inspector Training School HELP US, HELP YOU!
T
he Mission Statement of the NHLA Inspector Training School is to “strive to educate the future lumbermen of tomorrow in hardwood grading rules and ethics.” NHLA is dedicated to working with our members who send their employees for training as Hardwood Lumber Inspectors to ensure each student has received a quality education and is well prepared to return to their employer and make a difference.
As you know, this training provides an excellent option for students who cannot attend college or additional training for college students interested in a career within the hardwood industry.
Over the past few years, we have seen a significant increase in the number of employers ready to hire an Inspector but experience difficulty filling those positions. The Inspector Training School is asking for your help with a student recruitment project to strengthen the industry. The School is reaching out to High School guidance departments throughout the United States to provide them with information about a career in the hardwood lumber industry.
We greatly appreciate your time and effort!
