All-Alaska Academy

The All-Alaska Academy (AAA) provides direct student services in a variety of weeklong sessions held in Juneau; taught by qualified instructors, and aligned with Alaska content and performance standards.  Here is the schedule of our sessions, described here:

Alaska Close Up, Junior Alaska Close Up and Government Internship

Available to students in 7-8th grade (Junior Alaska Close Up), 9-12th grade (Alaska Close Up), and 11th and 12th grade Alaska Close Up alumni (Government Internship). 

Career Connections 

9th – 12th graders in sessions 1 and 3: Become aware of career opportunities in Alaska’s high growth industries and upgrade career exploration and job-seeking skills 

11th – 12th graders in sessions 2 and 4: Experience the REAL world of work by job-shadowing in a field interest and learn valuable skills on how to choose and pursue a career.

SE Alaska Construction Trades Academy

Two weeks of intensive instruction that prepares students for construction industry careers. (Dependant on grant funding.) Available for rural Southeast Alaska Students 18 – 24.

Except for Construction Trades Academy, districts pay tuition and travel to/from Juneau. Tuition of $650 per student and $450 per teacher/chaperone pays for ground transportation, materials, instruction, meals and housing during our session. Sessions begin Monday morning and end Friday noon, with optional Friday afternoon activities.

Driver Training for Southeast Alaska Youth     

Alaska Driver’s Licenses are a necessity for many types of employment as well as union apprenticeship positions, and they ensure that you are a safe and defensive driver on Alaska’s highways. Students, ages 15 – 24 complete on-line and road training classes that will result in an Alaska Instruction (Learner’s) Permit and ultimately an Alaskan Provisional (ages 16 – 18) or Regular Driver’s License.  For rural students, road training will be brought to your community or you can attend a week-long Juneau session that will prepare you for road testing.  This year’s session is grant-funded.
