Rural Alaska Community Environmental Job Training (‘RaceJT’)

Graduate Stories

I wanted to receive the RACEJT training because it’s a great opportunity to receive certifications which could lead to great jobs and a way to help preserve natural resources/environment for the next generation. Now that I’ve completed the training, I hope to get a job helping a community preserve the natural resources and way of life/culture by better safe practices learned through this training.

I wanted to receive the RACEJT training because it would help me understand the work I have to carry out safely for our employer.  Learn how to use some of the equipment we have and make Kong a cleaner, safer and healthier place to live. Now that I have completed the training, I hope to take home what I have learned here and put my new skills to use for the betterment of our community.
