DEDICATED TO
DEVELOPING KODIAK
TALENT
“Workforce in Kodiak is like any other scarce resource on our island, it must be cultivated, nurtured, and grown. The Career Expo is designed to do just that; inform, partner and share local opportunities with our young people to grow our workforce and ensure our future Kodiak economy.”
— Karl Hertz, Providence Medical Center, KEDC Board President
““The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Cypress was honored to attend the Kodiak Economic Development Corporation’s 2024 Career Expo. We love supporting the Kodiak community and we look forward to opportunities like this when we’re able to work with our neighbors on the island. I hope that between our interactions with the students and community members during the Career Expo, cutter tour, and Kodiak Job Fair, we’ve showed the value our crews can provide on a daily basis. If you or anyone you know has interest in joining our Coast Guard family, contact Chief Petty Officer Rob Benavides at (907) 885-4424, or by email at robert.m.benavides@uscg.mil.”
— Lt. Vladimir Domanskiy, Executive Officer of the USCG Cutter CYPRESS.”
Workforce
Development
The availability of a reliable, skilled workforce is essential to the entire island of Kodiak. That workforce is a vital factor determining local business expansion as well as relocation of businesses here.
KEDC is committed to continuously developing Kodiak’s workforce.
In Spring of 2024, in partnership with KIBSD and local businesses, KEDC will host the second Career Expo. The goal of this event is to help prepare students to be work ready and to provide proof to local employers that these students can be successful at their company.
The Career Expo will include opportunities to tour local businesses, practice interview skills, learn about careers available in our community. Career Expo reinforces that going to work right after graduation doesn’t mean foregoing a chance at higher education but, instead, could provide a different path to get there.
