Workforce Wednesday: Maritime industry apprenticeships

The Calista Corporation has partnered with AVTEC in Seward for an entry-level apprenticeship program aimed at high school students and graduates.
Cari-Ann Carty with Alaska Process Industry Careers Consortium says students will learn nautical and shoreside skills, how to navigate in the waters of Alaska as well as get certifications and on-the-job training. Students will also have access to a state of the art simulator to hone their navigation skills.
