This project formulates a strategic plan for the development of the national center for pulp and paper technology through the partnership of the four two-year colleges and with strong backing and support from industry. The center is going to establish and perpetuate a technology program and network providing students around the nation an effective education and training program. The center is also going to provide the pulp and paper sector of the U. S. forest products industry with a globally competitive, technologically advanced workforce. Alabama Southern Community College (ASCC) and Auburn University alliance continues in this project with the addition of four two-year colleges strategically located throughout the United States. These institutions include: (1) Kennebec Valley Technical College, a rural college in Fairfield, Maine, (2) Fox Valley Technical College in a more urban area in Appleton, Wisconsin, (3) Century Community Technical College in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, and (4) Lower Columbia College in a more urban area in Longview, Washington.The project includes participation of several national pulp and paper industry organizations under an industry-academia-governmental initiative called Agenda 2020. These national organizations consist of (1) The American Forest and Paper Association (AF&PA), (2) The Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI), and (3) The Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical & Energy Workers International Union (PACE). This initiative enables focusing the industry's technology vision, sets the industry's technology agenda, and provides science and technology foundation for the industry. A major focus of Agenda 2020 is the development of a technologically advanced workforce (TAW) to operate and maintain the new technologies of today, and more importantly, in the coming years. The planning for this center is going to closely coordinate the workforce development needs of today and in the future as new and sophisticated technology is ushered in for purposes of efficiency and quality improvement so that our nation's pulp and paper industries can successfully compete internationally.

该项目通过与四个两年的大学的合作关系以及行业的强烈支持和支持，制定了国家纸浆和纸质技术中心开发的战略计划。该中心将建立和永久化技术计划，并为全国各地的学生提供有效的教育和培训计划。该中心还将为美国森林产品行业的纸浆和造纸领域提供全球竞争性，技术先进的劳动力。阿拉巴马州南部社区学院（ASCC）和奥本大学联盟（ASCC）在该项目中继续在整个美国策略性地增加了四年的两年学院。这些机构包括：（1）缅因州费尔菲尔德的一所乡村学院，（2）威斯康星州阿普尔顿市一个更城市地区的福克斯谷技术学院（3）（3）在明尼苏达州白熊湖的白熊湖，以及（4）在长距离哥伦比亚大学的较低哥伦比亚大学，包括多个国家的参与者，行业 - 阿卡迪亚政府倡议称为2020年议程。这些国家组织由（1）美国森林和造纸协会（AF＆PA）组成，（2）纸浆和造纸行业技术协会（TAPPI）和（3）纸张，纸张，联合工业，化学和能源工人国际联盟（PACE）。该计划使该行业的技术愿景集中在行业的技术议程中，并为行业提供科学技术基金会。 2020年议程的重点是发展技术先进的劳动力（TAW），以运营和维护当今的新技术，更重要的是在未来几年中。该中心的计划将紧密协调当今的劳动力发展需求，并且将来会出于效率和质量提高的目的，以便我们国家的纸浆和造纸工业可以成功地在国际上竞争。
