At our core, the Alaska Safety Alliance is about workforce development. Building the skills and proficiencies of Alaskans is a critical component of ensuring a healthy business environment and strong economy for our state in a global economy. It’s ASA’s mission to ensure the availability of a highly trained workforce, sufficient to staff Alaska’s industries safely and competitively, now and in the future.

The ASA Training Scholarship program was created to assist Alaskans who are interested in careers in oil & gas, mining, maritime, transportation, construction, or cross-industry. Scholarships are one way we can help ensure Alaskans have sufficient skills, training, and education for a successful career in Alaska.
