WHO WE ARE

youtube-video-thumbnail

Alaska EXCEL is a key component in supplementing CTE curriculum in rural Alaska school districts. Provided with our unique educational opportunities, students are able to experience career exploration starting in the 7th grade and can continue until the summer following high school graduation.

Focusing on careers relevant to their regions, participants may explore jobs in health care, construction, heavy equipment operating, aviation, culinary arts, maritime, and more! Foundational sessions hone in on life skills, such as leadership and healthy living, all the while working on employability skills.

Some of the other sessions, such as College Prep and Credit Recovery help students prepare for life and goals beyond high school.

The Alaska EXCEL program works great for our youth in the village. Alaska EXCEL gives them a better start into adulthood. I am very happy that my son is able to be a part of this program!

I learned how to incorporate a daily workout into my schedule—it was the most valuable health skill I learned during this session.

Alaska Excel is an amazing way for students to connect with each other, learn about leadership and employability skills. Their partnerships, caring methods and ability to connect with students is nothing short of miraculous.

Alaska EXCEL is an awesome program that youth can join to experience what opportunities are out there. With EXCEL students learn what hard work & dedication brings. All they need is the willingness to get the job done themselves, andEXCEL will be alongside them helping them thru their journey.
