We invite local residents and businessmen to apply for tending forests

JSC “Latvia’s State Forests” invites local residents and companies to apply for tending young forest stands and plantations in state forests. The company offers stable job opportunities in Latvia, guaranteed and speedy payment for quality work performed on schedule.

Additional information on procurements for tending young forest stands available on the company’s homepage - Public Procurements - Procurements above LVL 3,000 - Forestry Work.

JSC Latvia’s State Forests Silviculture Executive Director Edmunds Linde: “In the 2014 forestry work procurement, the offer will be to sign five-year contracts on providing services. Entrepreneur initiatives in educating their employees within the framework of the professional development programme will play a decisive role in launching or continuing cooperation. When assessing offers for tending young forest stands and agro-technically renewed forest areas, bonus points will be given to cooperation partners able to confirm the completion of the professional development programme by their employees. If entrepreneurs, as a result of the 2014 forestry work procurement, gain rights to long-term cooperation, involving employees who have not mastered the professional development programme, contract provisions will include employee training within a year’s time after contract signing. This provision was also included in long-term contracts signed this year and its implementation control on site will begin on January 1, 2014. LVM is interested in signing short-term contracts with people who are familiar with forestry processes. Service providers will also benefit from this, since they will be able to gradually acquire knowledge in other areas, guaranteeing work for the entire year.”

The required knowledge is gained through studying materials on the Internet. The final test is taken at an education institution after the completion of the study programme. A certificate and diploma, confirming the completion of the study program, are handed out afterwards.

Additional information on the professional development program, matching the company’s requirements, and applications can be found on the homepages of Ogre State Technical College (www.ovt.lv) and Forest and Wood Products Research and Development Institute (www.e-koks.lv).

The provision of completing the professional development programme will not be included in contracts signed for less than a year.
