The Alaska Workforce Alliance (AWA) plays a crucial role in building and sustaining a strong workforce across Alaska’s diverse industries. As the workforce development division of the Alaska Safety Alliance (ASA), AWA partners with state agencies, industry leaders, and communities to implement workforce strategies that align with Alaska’s economic needs and opportunities.

On this page, you will find Alaska’s Workforce Future (draft), a forward-thinking statewide workforce development plan. Developed in collaboration with the State of Alaska and supported by the Denali Commission, this plan reflects extensive input from key stakeholders across Alaska. The page provides access to the complete draft document, nine appendices, and additional supporting documents that offer in-depth information on the plan’s development and goals.

Additionally, we invite you to explore a curated collection of publications that informed the development of this critical workforce plan.
