Careers in Alaska

Many students wonder what career would be right for them and there are many criteria to consider when setting a career goal.  You can use the Alaska Career Information System (AKCIS) to take self-assessments that connect the answers about your abilities, interests and values to occupations.  AKCIS also provides information about the training and education needed for any job in the database.  The Alaska Department of Labor can help you learn more about careers in the state, including occupational outlook and wage ranges.
