Research
The National Network for Pulp and Paper Technology Training (NPT2) was created to provide the pulp and paper sector of the United States forest-product industry with a globally competitive, technologically advanced workforce and to give students and incumbent workers around the nation exciting and effective education and training. The program is delivered through a variety of partners across the U.S. These partners are educational providers, particularly at the community college level. Their efforts are evaluated through four nodes - Southeast, Midwest, Northeast, and Northwest.

From almost any perspective, the need to show the accountability of various projects and programs in organizations is growing, particularly for programs involving skill development for critical industries. When resources are allocated to specific projects, all key stakeholders need to see the value of those projects. For more information on NPT2 and its value please review the recent studies posted here.
