AVTEC Maritime Apprenticeship Program

AVTEC Maritime has received funding from DOL to provide training for 10 individuals to receive our Tankerman AB Program. Edison Chouest has signed to provide the sea service, as on the job training (OJT) to meet the USCG sea service requirement’s under this training. This would be free training and a job. An applicant need not have prior sea service or a TWIC/MMC, as obtaining those certifications is part of this unique training opportunity.

If you know of an Alaskan that wants to pursue a career in the deck department, at sea, as an Able Bodied Seaman and is willing to train at AVTEC starting the 26th of March for seven weeks, followed by a two year paid apprenticeship, please have them read the information on the AVTEC Maritime web page: http://www.avtec.edu/amtc.htm, fill out the application and return it to AVTEC for review and possible interview.

This is a great opportunity, but we have a very short window in which to fill these ten seats. A flier is attached.

Laborers Local 341 Apprenticeship Application Deadline March 31

The Alaska Laborers take applications year round for their 4000 hour Construction Craft Laborer Apprenticeship program. Laborers Local 341, which has geographic jurisdiction for Alaska South of the 63rd parallel (excluding Southeast Alaska), will be interviewing apprentice applicants during the week of April 5 in Anchorage. Applications must be submitted in person or arrive at their Training Center by 4 PM on March 31. Math and Reading tests will be administered at the Laborers Training School at 13500 Old Seward Hwy on Saturday April 3, with 20 minute interviews scheduled for April 6 – 8 between 8 AM and 5 PM.

Laborers perform a wide variety of tasks in all facets of the construction and pipeline industries in Alaska, such as concrete placement, pipelaying, rock drilling and blasting, asbestos and hazardous waste abatement, asphalt raking, grade checking, hod carrying, and a broad gamut of work on the maintenance of the Transalaska Pipeline. Laborers are one of four crafts involved in pipeline construction. Apprentices receive hands-on instruction (160 hours per year) and work experience in all of these specialties. Laborers work is physically demanding and most of it is outdoors in all kinds of weather. But it’s a great program and a great trade. I’m retired out of the Alaska Laborers myself, and highly recommend it.

To apply, go to the Training School at 13500 Old Seward Hwy (south of Huffman Rd.). Outside of Anchorage, call 345-3853 for an application (ASAP).

Minimum Qualifications – 18 with birth certificate, HS Diploma or GED with transcripts or GED test scores, one year Alaska resident, Ak Drivers License. Drug free and physically able to perform the work of the trade. Applicants selected are given an agility test and attend a basic skills “boot camp” – indenture as apprentice upon successful completion.

Recommended – Training records or certificates, letters of reference, resume.

Apprentices start at $16.45 an hour (with full benefits) and receive raises of $2.70 per hour after each 1000 hours of OJT to journey rate of $27.41 for Group 1 Laborers (plus annual negotiated increases). Pipelayers, Drillers, Gradecheckers, and other specialties within the trade receive two to three dollars more per hour.

Please call Ed Flanagan Alaska Regional Director, Helmets to Hardhats, Veteran Outreach Coordinator, Alaska Works Partnership at 1-866-993-8181 for more information.

MURAP Summer Student Fellowships – February 15, 2010 (Deadline)

Moore Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program

Announcement of Summer Student Fellowships

May 23-July 29, 2010

The Moore Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (MURAP) is a paid summer fellowship designed to foster the entrance of talented students from diverse backgrounds within the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts into graduate school and faculty positions in U.S. colleges and universities. More broadly, the program seeks to increase the presence of minorities and others who demonstrate a commitment to eradicating racial disparities in graduate school and eventually in academic ranks. The program serves the related goals of providing role models for all youth and structuring campus environments so that they will be more conducive to improved racial and ethnic relations. MURAP aims to achieve its mission by identifying and supporting students of great promise and helping them to become scholars of the highest distinction.

Each summer, the program brings a cohort of 18-22 undergraduates (rising juniors and seniors) from colleges and universities in the U.S. to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus for an intensive, ten-week research experience. Students are expected to develop a 20-page research project under the guidance of a faculty mentor with whom they are paired according to areas of study and research interests. In addition to meeting at least three times a week with faculty mentors, students will attend weekly 3-hour seminars where they will present their research and discuss it with faculty and other students in the program, receive required biweekly instruction in preparation for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), attend biweekly writing and presentation skills workshops, and participate in a variety of informative workshops, social events and conferences designed to expose them to the graduate experience. Participants will submit their final research paper based on their project and must receive approval through the signature of their faculty mentor. For a student to complete the program successfully and receive the entire stipend, participation in all of these activities and completion of the research paper are required. A sample calendar of required activities and deadlines is available on our website.

For their participation in the program, student fellows will receive a generous stipend of $3500 (in the case of students holding Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowships, they receive the difference between their summer stipend and MURAP’s), an allowance for meals of $1450 and travel allowance up to $500 to cover the cost of transportation to and from Chapel Hill. Additionally, students will be provided on-campus housing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

*************************************************************

Applying to MURAP
APPLICATION DEADLINE: February 5, 2010

Program applicants should be mindful that MURAP offers an intensive research experience which requires a substantial commitment of time, intellectual resources and effort. Therefore, students may not be employed or take classes while enrolled in the program. Student fellows are selected based on a variety of factors that may include their academic promise, clarity and quality of their statement of research interests, availability of an appropriate mentor match, their demonstrated commitment to increasing opportunities for underrepresented minorities in academic settings in the fields designated above, serious intent to pursue graduate (as opposed to professional) studies, and willingness and ability to participate in all aspects of the MURAP program.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, must have completed at least four semesters of undergraduate study, and must have at least one semester of undergraduate work remaining when they enter MURAP.

In completing the statement included in the application, students must demonstrate clearly their fit with and suitability for the program given MURAP’s mission and selection criteria. For more information about the program and to learn how to apply please visit the MURAP website http://www.unc.edu/depts/murap/index.html.

Rising seniors applying to MURAP should consider applying simultaneously to the Associate Program of the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers (IRT), as it would be of great help during the graduate school application process. For more information consult http://www.andover.edu/irt.
