Denali Training Fund

The Denali Training Fund prioritizes its resources for training that leads to real jobs for rural Alaskans. With the significant investment by the Denali Commission in infrastructure, and other state and federal construction projects, it is crucial that Alaskans have the skills and knowledge required to work on the construction and operation phases of these projects. This is a unique opportunity for rural residents to achieve an increased standard of living while still maintaining their cultural values.

The Denali Training Fund was established by the Denali commission to ensure local residents have the skills necessary to become employed on the construction, operation and maintenance of Denali Commission and other public infrastructure projects in rural Alaska.

With the direction of the Denali Commission Training Subcommittee the Department of Labor and Workforce Development will continue to build better and stronger delivery of services as we gain valuable experience in the administration of the training program.

The Denali Training Fund can provide grants to any non-profit or for-profit organization, business, or government agency with the capacity to provide or facilitate the training. Funding is for organizations to conduct training; direct funding to individuals is not available.

The Denali Training Fund will pay for the following:

  • Tuition
  • Instructor Wages
  • Books
  • Tools
  • Required Clothing
  • Incidental Stipends
  • Lodging Transportation
  • Administration

Applications are accepted quarterly on March, June, September, and December 15.
