TAF announces the upcoming CH2M Hill Training that will take place mid-March 2012 in King Salmon. CH2M Hill will provide participants with the specific skills required to obtain jobs as General Maintenance Technicians (GMT's). First year GMT's average $50,000 annually (regular pay plus overtime), which immediately provides the participant with the opportunity to earn at least the average annual wage in Alaska. GMT's will typically work two 80 hour work weeks with two weeks off.

Successful completion of all training courses will most likely result in employment for participants. Students will receive hands-on training from journeyman level instructors. These three weeks of training will be designed for students desiring careers in general maintenance. Class dates are to begin March 18, 2012. Twenty applicants will be selected and all successful graduates will be considered for employment.
