Harvester Driver Training in Russia (Tacis)

Closed

Finland is a pioneer in machine-building and developing wood harvesting. The amount of forest harvester machines delivered to Russia during the year preceding the project had increased considerably, which had increased the need for developing local harvester driver training. The shared general goal of the Harvester Driver Training in Russia joint project was to improve the operational environment in the forest industry through training. The specific goal of the Interreg part of the joint project was to develop a short-term harvester driver course for Russians at Valtimo North Karelia College, in order to meet the rapidly increasing demand. In addition, the export of Finnish forest harvester machines would be promoted by improving the harvester drivers’ abilities to utilise new technologies. The goal of the Tacis part was to establish a foundation for creating harvester driver training in the Republic of Karelia. The training would be offered independently using local resources.
