The WITForum wants to give the joinery industry a stake in its own future by helping companies influence training and training provision. Surveys show that skills shortages in the wood industry are a major concern. Gaps in training provision and lack of interest in the industry as a whole have resulted in a need for training to be addressed.

The WITForum wants the industry to communicate and express their needs to training providers, so that training providers can better meet the needs of industry. We are encouraging carpentry and joinery companies to take control of training so that those who gain woodworking qualifications really are qualified to work for you.

You know what your industry needs, so if you are a joinery or woodworking company join the WITForum and take control of the future of your industry.
