Two Weeks Left to Enroll this Semester!

1/17/2017

The great thing about Amundsen Educational Center is that their Office Occupations Courses are open enrollment.  This means that students can begin their training at any time from August through January.  February 1st is the deadline for students to enroll and begin classes to make sure they have sufficient time to graduate in May.  

Why enroll now?  

For starters, you will be finished with school and be able to find a job for the summer, which is the peak hiring season in Alaska.  The second benefit to enrolling now is because our Matching Funds Program is still in effect.  This means that you will only need to fund half of your total school costs- the rest is covered through the Matching Funds Program.  This program will go away May 1st, so students must enroll before the deadline to make sure they get the benefit.

What Programs are Available Now?  

Currently, our Office Occupations programs are available for open enrollment.  This includes: Accounting Clerk, Computer Information Processor, and General Office Clerk.
