The Alaska Job Center Network is designed to help people who have lost their jobs or who are facing a layoff get back to work. Maybe it‘s because your employer has gone out of business, or you left a job for personal reasons. With the Alaska Job Center Network, you‘ve got a team of trained professionals dedicated to helping you get back into the labor force.

When you've lost your job, or you're

facing a layoff, we can help with:

CAREER PLANNING Whether it’s career exploration or training, we can help you determine what you need to get there.

REALIZING YOUR POTENTIAL Our skills assessment tools reveal your untapped talents and abilities so you can focus on jobs and careers that are ideally suited for you.

UPGRADING YOUR SKILLS On-the-job training, older worker training, youth employment and training, and a program for workers facing layoffs are all designed to advance your marketable job skills.

CAREER RESOURCES Alaska Job Center career resource rooms offer free use of personal computers, photocopiers and printers to provide professional looking letters and resumes, and Internet access for searching current job openings.
