History

Yuut is the result of a brainstorming session between Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation CEO, Gene Peltola, and U.S. Senator for Alaska, Ted Stevens. Both acknowledged the lack of vocational training opportunities designed to meet the needs of local residents and employers of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The conversation soon manifested into a non-profit corporation, supported significantly by ten local “partner” organizations. Yuut Elitnaurviat, Inc. is turning the “dream” into a tangible reality by creating numerous training programs and constructing a 10-acre, state of the art vocational campus.
