Through our Career Development department, we provide comprehensive job training and skills development to help people find meaningful, lasting work. We understand the challenges of a changing job market and offer support to families as they navigate these changes, aiming to promote self-sufficiency and sustainable employment.

 

We help participants build the skills and confidence needed to find and keep good jobs. Our services include career coaching, job placement assistance, skills training, and our Career Development Center where you can get help with resumes, applications, and job search strategies. For participants who need additional assistance with housing, childcare, or other basic needs, we work closely with our Financial Assistance programs to ensure you have the support you need on your journey to self-sufficiency.

Career Skills workshops are held in both group and individual settings and cover a wide variety of topics to help people better understand their own strengths and enhance their ability to get and keep meaningful employment. Workshops are open to any individual registered with CITC. Contact CD@citci.org or speak with your case manager to learn more and register.

The Disability Employment Services (DES) Program helps Alaska Native and American Indian individuals with disabilities obtain and maintain employment that matches their abilities, strengths, and goals. We work with ages 14 and up. Disability Orientation is held every Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. on the second floor.

Adults can refresh their academic skills and work toward earning a General Education Diploma (GED) or other vocational pursuits.

 

The CITC GED Program is designed to help participants successfully pass the GED examination and earn a high school equivalency credential. Obtaining a GED can expand access to employment opportunities, vocational training programs, post-secondary education, and career advancement.

 

Through the program, participants can strengthen their academic skills while preparing for future educational and employment opportunities.

 

New students begin by completing an assessment to identify their current reading and academic skill levels. Based on the results, students are placed into instructional services that best support their individual learning needs and educational goals. Some may begin directly in GED preparation classes, while others may receive additional foundational academic support to help ensure long-term success in the GED program. Regardless of assessment result, students are placed in a position to succeed and accomplish their academic goals.

 

  • GED Orientation is every Wednesday at 1pm on the 2nd floor.
