The Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development’s Research and Analysis Section recently developed a new online, electronic tool called the Alaska Career Ladder. This new tool was designed to help educators, school and career counselors, and job placement specialists identify the best pathways to help students and job seekers achieve their career goals.
The needs of individuals and businesses were also kept in mind. Individuals can use the career ladder to independently explore and develop their own career pathways. Businesses can identify previously overlooked occupations that may provide potential recruits for hard to fill positions.
Alaska’s Career Ladder improves on previous career ladders because, unlike those career ladders, it’s backed by a study of the actual occupation-to-occupation changes that Alaska workers made over a six-year period.
