Domtar Nekoosa targets workforce shortages with $100K donation

Domtar is the first forest products industry partner to sponsor the project designed to supply Wisconsin with highly skilled workers, address the workforce shortage and sustain and grow area businesses. Their donation secures Domtar naming rights to a space within the AMETA Center for the life of the building.

With a planned opening in late 2023 or early 2024, the AMETA Center is an approximately 50,000-square-foot facility slated for development on I-39 in the Stevens Point Industrial Park. It is expected to serve more than 1,500 people per year through advanced programming to traditional technical college students and high school students, incumbent worker training, and new equipment and technology advancement demonstrations for central Wisconsin businesses.

Public and private donations and grants have been received toward the construction of the AMETA Center, and fundraising efforts continue as the campaign seeks to fully outfit the center with industry-standard equipment and supplies. To learn more or make a donation, please visit mstc.edu/partner.
