Program for Recruiting Students to the Profession of Wood Science and Technology

Students entering senior colleges and universities are not enrolling in courses of study in wood science and technology in sufficient numbers to fill existing government and industry positions in production, sales, and research. High school and junior college students and the public in general, have little concept of the scope of the industry based on wood, the variety of positions offered, and the opportunities available for young people. This paper outlines the types of information, methods of presentation, and evaluation of the effort which could make a successful recruitment program if implemented. The implementation is considered urgent if the profession of forestry is to survive and if the contributions of the profession to the wood-based industries warrants such survival.
