Year Three,
Specialized Primary Manufacturing
 This course provides students with the skills and knowledge
necessary for obtaining an entry-level job in the primary wood
manufacturing sector or continuing on in a related postsecondary
program. Students are required to complete a capstone project where
they form a small business to produce a primary wood product for a
client. Student groups interview the client to determine the product
specifications, do some planning for product production, procure the
raw materials needed, and finally prepare the product for delivery.
Curriculum for this course is in the form of teacher planning guides
that include the competencies necessary to produce the primary wood
product.. Planning guides are included that will assist the teacher
in developing lesson plans for:
- forming a company and business
team
- developing a contract
- procuring logs
- sawing the logs and processing the
lumber
- kiln drying lumber
- performing a cost analysis and
determining profit-loss.
Another option, for the more capable
and motivated students, is studying to prepare for college advanced
credit. Self paced, individualized modules have been developed for
use by individuals or small groups of students interested in this
option. For information about these materials
