Job Skills Training

The goal of life skills training is to upgrade participants' skills so they can secure employment with wages that enable them to be self-sufficient, as well as obtain knowledge to make decisions.   

                       

                                              

Each student will be placed into their career path according to what their goals are, but since their age plays a large part in what they can and cannot do, steering the student toward a different career path, such as training, will be a major driving force when working with the placement coordinators.  Job skills will also provide an opportunity for each student to gain occupational skills via 115 hours of certification training or cooperative work experience. 

Every student will complete a local job application or State Workplace Alaska' profile and complete a grammatically correct employment resume.  Placement is defined as 30 hours or more per week of verified employment, school or combination of both. 

                                                                   
All academy students will receive training and instruction in employment search methods.  All students are expected to learn and apply their skills and knowledge in a variety of settings to create a satisfying and productive life.  The course will be taught using a variety of resources.

The job skills section of the course is designed to help students evaluate and develop skills necessary to be successful in future employment.  The emphasis of the class is to develop employability traits.
