Workforce Development
A working group addressing workforce development was formed based on feedback received from the Subsistence Advisory
Working Group. The Ambler Access Project is expected to create thousands of new jobs; it is essential that those in
rural Alaskan communities have the training and education needed to access these new job and career opportunities.
The Working Group will help the project’s leadership identify job and career pathways including needs for training
and development resources. The Workforce Development Working Group met for the first time in Anchorage on January
12, 2022.
