The Woodwork Career Alliance is seeking guest reviewers to help validate recently created Skills Standards.  These unified Standards will serve as a comprehensive, industry-accepted compilation of operational procedures by which to measure performance and results produced by woodworking professionals.

The WCA is developing a voluntary assessment program that allows woodworker to demonstrate in-plant woodworking skill competencies.  Interested individuals are encouraged to schedule a one-hour time slot during the IWF show.  WCA Board members will be on hand to meet one-on-one with guest reviewers to discuss current standards under development and obtain comments for the machines/tools listed below:
