🎉 It’s one of our favorite weeks of the year!

Alaska Works Partnership is proud to celebrate National Apprenticeship Week (April 26 – May 2), a nationwide recognition of the power of Registered Apprenticeships to build strong careers and a skilled workforce.

This year’s theme, “America at Work: Making America Skilled Again through Registered Apprenticeship,” highlights the vital role apprenticeships play in strengthening our economy and creating real pathways into high-demand careers.

All week long, we’re celebrating the apprentices, graduates, employers, and partners who make this work possible, right here in Alaska and across the country.

From youth pathways to innovation in emerging industries, Registered Apprenticeship continues to open doors and create opportunity.

👏 Shoutout to Anneliese Kupfrian! 👏

In our recent Building Maintenance training in Anchorage, Anneliese truly stood out, impressing instructors with her attention to detail and craftsmanship on this project.

Her work didn’t go unnoticed; one instructor was so impressed he wrote her a reference letter for future career opportunities. That’s the kind of impact we love to see!

Way to go, Anneliese! We’re excited to see where your skills take you next. 🔨✨

🎉 Celebrating 30 Years of Alaska Works Partnership! 🎉

Today marks 30 years of helping Alaskans build strong futures in the construction trades.

Founded in 1996 by Alaska’s Building and Construction Trades, we’ve connected thousands of individuals from more than 140 communities across our state to free, hands-on introductory training. From learning basic trade skills to navigating apprenticeship applications, building resumes, securing reference letters, and sharpening interview skills, we’ve supported Alaskans every step of the way on their career journeys.

We’re incredibly proud of the work we’ve done and even more excited about what’s ahead. Here’s to continuing to open doors, create opportunities, and strengthen Alaska’s workforce for years to come.
