The Alaska Training Cooperative provides non-academic trainings for people who work in Alaska’s direct service professional and behavioral health workforce and who work with people who are affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias as well as other mental health issues.
Training and technical staff collaborate with communities and partners to offer trainings and training assistance to agencies, organizations, businesses, and associations. This enhances workforce development blending evidence-based practices with traditional wisdom to meet the needs of rural behavioral health providers.
The cooperative offers in-person and online trainings. In December, there are two online trainings available. There is a Basic Concepts of Care online course from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dec. 2. There is an Alaska Core Competency series of trainings between Dec. 8 and Dec. 17, each one from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can attend one, two or all of them. The whole series costs $60.
