What’s In It for YOU?
It’s difficult to find and keep skilled workers and it’s difficult for woodworkers to show what they know during the interview process. The industry needs a way to recognize skills and reward achievement. WCA meets that need. The Woodwork Passport program leads to professional credentials for woodworkers and a pool of demonstrated talent for employers. CLICK HERE to see the Credentials.
Today we have Assessments for over 240 woodworking operations, the most-performed operations in our industry. The Woodwork Passport is a portable, personal, permanent record of a woodworker’s achievements. Developed by industry, the simple system for testing skills and recording the results leads to industry-recognized certificates that stay with an individual throughout their career.
