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.

该项目通过四所两年制院校的合作，在业界的大力支持和支持下，为国家制浆造纸技术中心的发展制定了战略规划。该中心将建立并延续一个技术计划和网络，为全国各地的学生提供有效的教育和培训计划。该中心还将为美国林产行业的纸浆和造纸行业提供一支具有全球竞争力、技术先进的劳动力队伍。阿拉巴马州南部社区学院(ASCC)和奥本大学联盟继续这个项目，增加了四所位于全美战略位置的两年制学院。这些机构包括：(1)位于缅因州费尔菲尔德市的肯纳贝克山谷技术学院，(2)位于威斯康星州阿普尔顿的福克斯山谷技术学院，(3)位于明尼苏达州白熊湖的世纪社区技术学院，以及(4)位于华盛顿州朗维尤的下哥伦比亚学院。这些全国性组织包括(1)美国森林和造纸协会(AF&amp；PA)，(2)制浆和造纸工业技术协会(TAPPI)，以及(3)造纸、工业、化工和能源工人国际联盟(PACE)。这一举措能够聚焦行业的技术愿景，设定行业的技术议程，并为行业提供科学和技术基础。2020年议程的一个主要重点是发展一支技术先进的劳动力队伍(TAW)，以操作和维护当今的新技术，更重要的是，在未来几年。该中心的规划将密切协调当今和未来的劳动力发展需求，因为为了提高效率和质量，引入新的尖端技术，使我国的制浆造纸工业能够成功地在国际上竞争。
