To help shareholders better prepare for careers with Ahtna, we are featuring a recurring matrix on the most frequently recruited positions. This quarter is focused on general laborer and equipment operator positions. To be eligible for either position, it is important to have a good driving record and valid driver’s license and the ability to pass a pre-employment background check and drug test.
Shareholder Development works with a number of different apprenticeship and training organizations, which can be good ways to get started in these fields, and many offer free, or even paid, training.
We recently teamed up with the Alaska Laborers Training School to produce a video highlighting the benefits of their apprenticeship program, which include a living wage, pension, health care plan, training and legal fund.
Below is a listing of some of the organizations with which Ahtna has built strong relationships to help further our shareholders’ credentials and career opportunities.
- Alaska Laborers Training
- Alaska’s Apprenticeship & Training Coordinators Association (AATCA)
- IBEW
- Northern Industrial Training
- Teamsters
