Learn From Professionals With Decades of Experience

The Construction Trades Technology Program (CTT) was developed to teach rural Alaskans the skills to work on local construction projects, with a focus on Alaskan building practices for northern climates. This hands-on training program is taught by professionals with decades of practical experience.

The program offers courses in facilities maintenance, basic carpentry, and sustainable energy, with an emphasis on saving money by doing self home repairs.
