Guest speakers and work sessions are designed to provide motivational and inspirational tools for success. Certain conference sessions will be directed toward high school participants. The career fair will be open to the public and will include participants from across the state, such as IBM, Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., the Alaska Department of Transportation, Doyon, Price Ahtna, VECO Engineering and several university departments. While in Fairbanks conference participants will be able to attend the 1997 Festival of Native Arts, a three-day annual event held on the UAF campus that showcases Native crafts and performances. Partial travel scholarships, made possible by donations from IBM and Alyeska, are available for qualified students from the Lower 48 to attend.
Registration is open to the public.
