Career Connections

Here’s your opportunity to work at a real job in a field of interest or to become aware of training and careers in high-growth industries. During your week-long session we will also explore higher education options, career exploration and learn job-seeking skills. Objectives and activities are aligned with Alaska Content Standards. Check the sample schedule, attached below, for additional details.
