Alaska Primary Care Association (APCA) is supporting the growth and resiliency of Alaska's healthcare economy, its fastest growing industry and largest economic sector.

The Good Jobs Challenge is investing in APCA's Alaska Healthcare Workforce Pipeline Project that will expand job opportunities and improve care in Alaska's healthcare sector, with a focus on Alaskan Native people.

The project will train and employ thousands of new healthcare workers to support the continued growth and expansion of Alaska's local economy. This will be achieved through quality preapprenticeships, registered apprenticeship programs, and a new healthcare career pathway that will be available to all Alaskan high school students.

APCA will leverage its vast network of 60 employer members that span urban, rural, tribal, and non-tribal communities across the entire state. This includes Foundation Health Partners and Hope Community Resources.

The project will also work with unions, such as Alaska AFL-CIO and IBEW, to support its training and job placement efforts.
