HaPpY NeW YeAr!!

The Training Program has had a very productive year in 2008 funding training for over 2000 individuals to construct, maintain and/or operate Denali Commission or other public infrastructure in their rural communities.

The Denali Commission uses training partners around the state to carry out our program training goals and we would like to thank them for a job well done. For training projects initiated in 2008: The Alaska Association of Municipal Clerks, Alaska Energy Authority, Alaska Vocational Technical Center, Alaska Forum, Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, Alaska Operating Engineers, Alaska Village Council Presidents Regional Housing Authority, Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation, CE2 Engineers, Chilkoot Indian Association, Haines Assisted Living, Interior Regional Housing Authority, Kawerak Inc, RuAL Cap, Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium, Southwest Alaska Vocational & Education Center, STG, Inc., City of Tanana, Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority, Yuut Elitnaurviat, Alaska Works Partnership, University of Alaska, First Alaskans, Associated General Contractors and the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

There is much more work coming down the pike from the Denali Commission with roads, clinic and energy projects needing to be build and maintained which means more people can and will be trained in 2009. We expect another busy and industrious year for workforce development across our state.

Denali Training Fund deadline for applications is January 15, 2009.

Complete proposals for the Denali Training Fund (DTF) are due by 5pm via fax, email or hand delivered to our administration partner, the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development 1016 W 6th Avenue, Suite 205 Anchorage, Alaska 99516. Call Gerry McDonagh (907) 269-4551 for more information or technical assistance.
