The University of Alaska Anchorage received a $620,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI program, CFDA 10.310) to establish a Natural Resources Technician Occupational Endorsement Certificate program. This 4-year program will train approximately 40 students in skills related to natural resource management, connect them with employment opportunities, and provide a pathway to natural resource careers. The training will consist of 4 core courses and additional 1- to 2-credit courses like CPR/First Aid and internships. The program will collaborate with regional land management agencies to ensure the curriculum meets their workforce needs, and the agencies will provide some of the instruction. The overall goal is to fill technician-level positions in natural resource management that are necessary for effective seasonal work but often go unfilled due to a lack of qualified local applicants.
