Apprenticeship Awards

We could not think of a better way to celebrate Apprenticeship in Alaska than to publicly recognize the hard work of the businesses, trade groups, policy makers, non-profit leaders, educators, participants, and other partners who make apprenticeship a reality! This year, the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Alaska Workforce Investment Board, will be presenting Apprenticeship Awards at our Think Apprenticeship! – Bridging the Workforce Gap event.
