The Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development has released an updated workforce analysis for the Alaska LNG Project. The analysis provides an assessment of Alaska’s workforce readiness for the project and other major infrastructure developments.
Key Findings
The analysis identifies projected workforce demand, evaluates Alaska’s existing training capacity, and highlights opportunities to maximize Alaska resident participation through strategic workforce investments. Peak construction demand could reach approximately 6,600 workers for AKLNG alone and up to approximately 8,600 workers statewide when concurrent projects are included.
Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy encouraged Alaskans to speak with the Department of Labor and Workforce Development about getting career training to be ready for the project. Commissioner Cathy Muñoz said the state starts from a position of strength with a robust network of apprenticeship programs, career and technical education, university system, and workforce partners already preparing Alaskans for high-demand careers.
