Apprenticeship Outreach and Education for ALL of Alaska’s people statewide.
The Rural Interest & Experience Registration has been created for two reasons.
- One, to help AWP and our partners understand what trades community members are interested in for future rural training and employment.
- Secondly, to collect construction-related experience information for future construction projects and employer calls we receive for workers needed in rural areas. No experience is required to register.
