ForestTECH 2024 places for young graduates & students

Another opportunity (free stuff) is being offered with a free conference registration to the NZ leg of this year’s forest technology series – up to five of them in fact – for the annual ForestTECH 2024 event running in Rotorua, New Zealand on 20-21 November 2024.

The Forest Industry Engineering Association (FIEA) has again teamed up with the WIDE Trust, a charitable Trust formed in 2018 that supports the development and education in New Zealand’s forestry and wood industry sectors.

What’s being offered? To help out younger employees, recent graduates and new entrants into the industry, this arrangement will enable up to five young employees, recent graduates or students in New Zealand to attend the major annual forest technology series, ForestTECH 2024 with all major conference expenses being paid.

ForestTECH 2024 is going to appeal to all those involved in; tree crop management, automated silviculture, including mechanised planting, thinning and pruning, forest establishment, remote sensing, forest data capture and forest inventory management. Details for the November conference can be found on the event website, www.foresttech.events/ft24.

Conditions: Applicants for the complimentary places have to be actively employed within the forestry or resource management industries or in a recognised training scheme, apprenticeship or course. The places are available only to those that haven’t picked up one of these complimentary conference registrations in the past and for those yet registered to attend the conference. And, to ensure the package is targeting the right person, the applicants should also be 35 years or younger.

What do I do if interested? These places have always been snapped up pretty quickly. This provides an incredible opportunity for younger people within our industry to attend – and at the right price – for free. So, as we have done in the past, places will be filled on a first in-first served basis, provided the eligibility criteria have been met. So, if keen on picking up one of these complimentary available spaces this year to the NZ leg of the ForestTECH 2024 series, please make contact with gordon.thomson@fiea.org.nz.
