Job Training


This program ran from July 2004 to December 2007. Funding is no longer available with the business shut down.

We were funded through a sub grant from the Department of Labor & Workforce Development in Juneau, Alaska to train Bus Drivers for Tribal Tours.

If you were found eligible for the training program, we provided:

  1. Class C CDL training

  3. CDL physical exams
  4. Uniforms for Tribal Tours job

  2. Your job had been eliminated, or you received a notice of layoff, due to Plant Closure or Substantial Layoff within a 30 day period
