A.A. CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION

As the need for a skilled workforce in Alaska increases, so has the demand for professional trainers!

There is high demand for professionals who are trained in such fields as telecommunications, banking, construction, medical services, and mechanics; and a high demand for professionals who can teach these skills to others.

To meet this demand, the APU RANA Program and the Alaska Vocational Technical Center (AVTEC) have formed a partnership to offer an A.A. in Career and Technical Education.
