Training On Demand: Launch of New Industry Professional Development Series

Forest Biomaterial’s “training on demand” series of courses offers a new option for pulp and paper industry professionals.  These courses are ideal for training people who have been assigned new responsibilities related to paper machine issues. Please forward this link to human resource managers as a potential cost-effective training option in the area of papermaking chemistry and allied sectors.

Who Should Attend?

Courses are recommended for those having a professional role or personal interest in the papermaking process, including those with new responsibilities or assignments.

Overview of Courses

Each course provides information about a selected aspect of the chemistry of the paper manufacturing process, a field that industrial papermakers often call “wet-end chemistry.”  Eight streaming video sessions, each about 15-30 minutes long, present key topics, each followed by a 3-question multiple-choice quiz for students to check their level of comprehension.  Select the link to a specific course to find a list of topics included in that course. Students must pass the final quiz with 80% success (multiple attempts are allowed) to qualify for a course certificate of completion. 

The course “Paper Manufacturing Chemistry” is recommended as a first introduction or refresher course for those having a professional role or personal interest in the paper-making process.
