The study critically looks at training in furniture manufacturing, furniture design, and retailing. It concludes that there is a skill shortage endangering North America's competitiveness. This applies to all seniority levels but there are distinct differences between job functions and industrial segments. The report deals with training deliverers, ranging from in-house trainers and trade associations, to apprenticeship schemes and woodworking schools at community colleges. The book is full of pertinent recommendations. A comprehensive appendix lists all relevant schools in the USA and Canada.
