ISK Site Tour In with Kajavala Forestry Ltd Showcases The Industry and Career Opportunities

The recent industry tour organized by ISK (Industrial Symbiosis Kawerau) and hosted by Kajavala Forestry Ltd provided an incredible experience for attendees that attended from various sectors, including industry representatives and rangitahi (youth). The tour offered a firsthand glimpse into the operations of Kajavala Forestry Ltd and shared insights on different aspects of the forestry industry.

Participants had the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the forestry industry by witnessing firsthand the processes including felling and stem processing as well as logistics within the yard. Attending this tour allowed attendees to appreciate the complexity of operations and the integral role each step plays in the overall process.

One of the key takeaways from the tour was the engagement and excitement generated among attendees, particularly the rangitahi, regarding potential career opportunities within the forestry sector. By witnessing the skills and required in forestry-related roles, participants gained valuable insights into the diverse career paths available in the industry and could see themselves working within a number of different roles.

The success of the industry tour reinforces the importance of experiential learning and hands-on exposure in fostering interest and understanding in various sectors. As we look ahead, we anticipate more opportunities for industry site tours throughout the year, providing valuable insights and networking opportunities for all involved.

We extend our thanks to the team at Kajavala Forestry Ltd for hosting an exceptional tour and to ISK for coordinating this valuable initiative. It’s an incredible opportunity to shape the future of the forestry industry and inspire the next generation of leaders and innovators within this sector.
