FY 2024 Education Focus: Workforce Development and Employee Retention 

ACEC Alaska has chosen a focus for our FY 2024 Quarterly Education Series: Workforce Development and Employee Retention. We’re excited to bring you more opportunities to learn how to navigate this relevant and important topic. We’re meeting with ASD regarding how we, the engineering community, can support and be involved in their Career Technical Education Program (i.e. internships) and how this will likely grow as the Academies Program is implemented. Look for more information coming soon regarding this, and other training opportunities.

PSMJ Project Manager Bootcamp Recap

ACEC Alaska was excited to host our first-ever Project Management Bootcamp through PSMJ! Instead of sending trainees to PSMJ, we brought the boot camp to you! This sold-out training allowed participants to learn new project management skills and best practices to help their companies achieve financial success, engage with clients, and return with a winning culture. Participants spent two full days learning techniques to successfully manage projects, teams, and clients.


Look for another PSMJ Bootcamp training in the future!
