The Alaska Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) can help you prepare for, find, and keep a job. To be eligible, you must have a physical or mental disability that makes it difficult for you to prepare for, get, or keep work.

The nonprofit Alaska Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired helps people with these disabilities with job preparation and vocational training, as well as independent living skills, assistive technology, and more. Its Bright Path program provides these services to youth ages 14-21.

Apprenticeships can be a good way to begin a career. The Alsaka Department of Labor and Workforce Development lists Current Registered Apprenticeship Programs statewide in a wide variety of fields, and the AlaskaWorks Partnership can connect you to training, education, and apprenticeships in Alaska’s construction, mining, oil and gas, maritime, and transportation industries.

Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) provide activities, camps, events, and training to help you explore and prepare for health care careers in Alaska.

You can search for different types of jobs on the Alaska Department of Labor's AlaskaJobs website.
