AVTEC closes Anchorage campus due to cuts

Alaska’s Institute of Technology, also known as AVTEC – the Alaska Vocational Technical Center – had to close the doors to their Anchorage satellite campus on Aug. 15, due to budget cuts.
Heather Beaty is the Executive Director of the Alaska Workforce Investment Board. As a spokesperson for the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Beaty said the closure was due in part to the 33 percent budget cut to the State General Funds.
Budget cuts are not a new thing for AVTEC,
