Alaska Vocational and Technical Schools
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Alaska's population grew by 14% between 1990 and 2000. The top Alaska jobs by sector in 2005 were in finance, health and education. From Anchorage to Fairbanks, an accredited Alaska vocational or technical school can help you find your way to a job as a mortgage lender, medical assistant or office administrator, to name just a few.
Because it's a prime tourist destination, Alaska also employs many people in the service industry. An Alaska vocational school can put you in a top job in the service industry, including hotel and restaurant management. Alaska is the leading exporter in the U.S., and it supports many jobs in shipping, as well as large engine and diesel maintenance and repair. Alaska's huge oil industry also provides a range of jobs, and many careers require a minimum of one to two years of vocational or technical school training in such disciplines as engineering, machine operation, and welding.
