Anchorage School District freshmen at the Career Expo.

We’re nurturing students to become a talented workforce.

When students see how education connects to life after high school, they’re more engaged and likely to graduate ready to thrive. That’s why we’re partnering with workplaces to support Anchorage School District’s Academies of Anchorage. Students are inspired to pursue their calling.

Workplace Involvement

Workplaces advise on Academies of Anchorage curriculum, host learning opportunities, mentor students, strengthen community ties, and increase their employees’ engagement. They’re helping nurture Alaska’s future workforce. Connect with us today to get involved.

Meaningful Mentorship

Real-world connections help students imagine what comes next. Guidance from professionals can build confidence, curiosity, and direction.

Life-Ready Students

We link students with workplace-led opportunities so that they’re prepared for life after graduation. When we support students, they can reach their potential. Plus, they can confidently enter careers, trade school programs, or college. By engaging them now and providing opportunities, they can thrive in adulthood.

Future Confidence

Early exposure to careers and training pathways helps students make informed choices. Preparation today creates stronger opportunities tomorrow.
