“Kelain was separating from the Army and searching for gainful employment. He contacted Alaska Works and inquired about construction apprenticeships and Helmets to Hardhats. While he was still on active duty, he was able to take 2 separate trainings and after completing them, he decided he wanted to apply to the Operators Apprenticeship as a Heavy Equipment Service Oiler. Once he was accepted, Alaska Works was able to pay for his tools and gear to set him up for success. ”

“The H2H carpentry class with Brian was a great class. I enjoyed how we talked about the lesson and immediately went into application. It was structured and the instructor was extremely knowledgeable of the trade.“

Darren was working at a local pizza shop in Anchorage and decided that he wanted a career change. He decided to give construction trades a shot and applied for Alaska Works Carpentry 1 and found his calling. Darren was ranked #1 in his class, applied to the Carpenters Apprenticeship, and was accepted.
“The classes have helped me understand more of the trade and what is involved. It’s amazing that Alaskan carpenters build everything from dirt to doorknobs”
