While You're In MASST
MASST is an opportunity to learn while you earn. What MASST will do is take your occupational goals (what you want to do) and find a host agency in the community where you can work upgrading your skills and helping the community. MASST participants normally work 20 hours a week at minimum wage. You'll meet new people and we are confident you'll find the work exciting. While working at a host agency Adult Learning Programs of Alaska offers computer training in such courses as Windows XP, Word, Excel, and QuickBooks.
The ultimate goal of the MASST program is for seniors to find unsubsidized employment. Once training is complete Adult Learning Programs of Alaska partners with the Department of Labor Job Center to help search for regular employment. Adult Learning Programs of Alaska's MASST program has had many employment success stories.
