Description of Training

Yuut has held a wide array of classes, touching a multitude of career fields for both youth and adults.

Youth
Youth involved in Yuut’s programs have so far benefited from tech-prep/dual credit courses and construction academies. Working with the University of Alaska- Kuskokwim Campus (KuC), Yuut has coordinated two dual-credit medical terminology classes. Giving high school students the chance to earn high school and college credit. Additionally, Yuut has sponsored numerous Youth Academies, introducing students to construction careers. Yuut has also established a school-to-apprenticeship program through the Bethel Alternative Boarding School (BABS). This program helps students step into apprenticeship with credit for experience following graduation from high school.

Eventually the entire Bethel Alternative Boarding School will relocate to the Yuut Campus. BABS is a model dropout recovery program. Students commit to sobriety and academics in a family-style environment where one half of the day is dedicated to intensive academics and the other is for real-world hands-on work experience.

Adults
There are two well-developed programs available for adults. Yuut has the only federally registered, specific trades apprenticeship in the YK Delta Region – the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Apprenticeship Program. Apprentices may specialize in carpentry, electrical, or plumbing. After completing 8,000 on-the-job training hours and hundreds of hours of related classroom training, apprentices are prepared to take the state licensure exam. Apprentices become “Journeymen” in their trade after successful completion of the licensure exam and may work as a plumber, electrician, or carpenter. There are currently 27 registered apprentices working towards Journeyman status with Yuut, and this number is expected to increase within the next couple of years.

To date, Yuut’s Caliyulriit (“People Who Want to Work”) Healthcare Training Program has watched four cohorts of Personal Care Assistants (PCAs) graduate and step into the local workforce. Yuut is proactively working with partners, YKHC and UAF, to develop Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) and Healthcare Reimbursement courses.

Further expansion of programs includes offering training for careers in mining, technology, construction, driving and heavy equipment, and certifications in natural sciences.
