Start building a sustainable future

The forest industry offers employment in diverse positions for tens of thousands of people in Finland. The constantly renewing industry works with renewable raw materials and builds the future on a sustainable basis.

Products made from wood can be used to replace many products made from fossil raw materials. Wood can be turned into almost anything: paper, paperboard, building materials, textiles, medical applications and various packaging materials.

Forest industry related education is widely available in both universities and universities of applied sciences. In addition to an education in the field of forestry and technology, you can find your way to the forest industry through other forms of education as the forest industry companies require versatile expertise. For example, there are jobs for experts in the fields of business, natural sciences, communications, social sciences, design and human resource management.
