University of Maine Pulp and Paper Foundation Career Exploration Seminar for Local High School Students Hosted by St Croix Tissue & Woodland Pulp
On Friday October 13th, students from Calais High School, Washington Academy 
and Hodgdon High School travelled to St Croix Tissue and Woodland Pulp for a Career Exploration Seminar delivered by the University of Maine Pulp and Paper Foundation (UMPPF) and hosted by the mill site.
At the event, students were given an overview of the different types of engineering offered at UMaine, what skillsets apply to that discipline of engineering, entry level job and pay opportunities for engineers and real world career path examples. Students also learned about the scholarship 
and intern opportunities available to students through the UMPPF. Then St Croix Tissue and Woodland Pulp engineers introduced students to the processes in operation and career paths available at the Baileyville site and students received a tour of the facility. The morning ended with students having a question and answer lunch in small groups with mill engineers.
