Bill Candline is the plant manager at the Weyerhauser Timberstand mill and says the industry is in need of trades people.
Candline says they have their apprenticeship programs to qualified people on the job.
Candline adds the need for tradesman will continue to go up as the US housing market expands.
He projects that production at the mill could go up to 6 days a week next year, which would create around 30 new positions.
