The forest industry in New Brunswick needs new equipment operators.

- Living in a rural community with opportunities for advancement;

...a dynamic and skilled career as a forestry machine operator may be right for you

**The Program**:
The forestry machine operator training program is designed to prepare students for entry-level positions as mechanized forest equipment operators. The specialized nature of forest harvesting equipment requires skilled operators with a focus on safe, environmentally sustainable, and viable commercial operations.

As a starting point, applicants will participate in a comprehensive screening process to help ensure a good fit with a career as a forestry equipment operator. This process involves 4 stages and applicants must pass each phase before proceeding to the next. Stages include:

- A hands-on simulator assessment (estimated at 3-4 hours + travel to an assessment site),
- A career fit online assessment (estimated at 1-2hours, requires the applicant have access to a computer),
- Job interviews with participating employers (estimated at 1-2 hours each plus travel), and assuming a successful match, entering an employment agreement.

Applicants who successfully complete the screening process and are selected by a participating contractor will enroll as students and will participate in three key phases over the course of the 25-week program including:
**Forestry 101 (5 weeks)**

An in-class component to introduce forestry and logging fundamentals, machine types and work environments, preventative maintenance approaches, machine productivity, and other key forestry knowledge. These concepts are delivered through a series of sessions, hands-on exercises, and includes training on equipment simulators.

**Basic Training (5 weeks)**

**Advanced Equipment Operation Training (up to 15 weeks)**

Graduates of the basic training component will be hired by a harvesting contractor to work as a member of their team, where they will receive further ‘on-the-job’ instruction and coaching from professional training providers.

Upon successful completion, graduates will receive a certificate from the New Brunswick Community College and the equivalent of 1,000 hours towards Harvester and Forwarder trade designation.

Tuition is $3,500 and students may be eligible for funding to cover specific expenses incurred during certain phases of the program.

**What is Timber Harvesting All About'**:
Logging contractors are small businesses with most employing fewer than ten people and a few multi-crew operations employing fifty or more. Some are integrated, full-service operations whereas some may specialize in areas such as thinning or in-woods chipping operations.

Logging is time sensitive Most shifts are 10-12 hours in length, 40-50 hours per week with many operations offering both day and night shifts.

Globally, demand for forest products is growing. Construction materials, paper products, and packaging supplies are derived from harvested timber, as are a wide variety of consumer goods, such as tissue and even food ingredients for products like cheese

The people who harvest, process, and transport timber - forestry contractors and machine operators
- make it all possible. Take a step to become a skilled forestry machine operator NOW
