Sappi North America Awarded 2016 Minnesota Job Skills Partnership Grant
Sappi North America, a leading producer and supplier of diversified paper and packaging products, and Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College, have received a $350,000 grant from the Minnesota Job Skills Partnership (MJSP) to develop and implement a Knowledge Management and Training System at the Sappi mill in Cloquet, Minnesota.
The proposed Knowledge Management and Training System will house Sappi's impressive knowledge base in a way that is accessible and actionable for all employees. The computerized, user-friendly system will be used to identify, document and transfer employees' knowledge so that critical information can not only be shared for the betterment of all Sappi's Minnesota employees, but unique, experiential information can be passed on from retiring generations of workers to new ones. It will provide self-directed training and assist in succession planning and job task certifications.
