Senior Employment (MASST)
The Mature Alaskans Seeking Skills Training (MASST) program is designed to assist seniors with developing marketable skills. It is an opportunity to earn extra income while receiving part-time job site or educational training. The program also offers basic computer training and workshops to develop job search skills. While in the program seniors receive an hourly wage.
If you are eligible, MASST can place you in a temporary, part-time work-training assignment, typically 20 hours a week at a host agency. Host Agencies are public or non-profit community organizations such as a senior center, social or public service agency, governmental agency or an educational institution.
Within this supportive environment, you can learn new skills, help your community and earn an income while continuing to seek a job with a private or public sector employer in your community. To assist you Adult Learning Programs of Alaska partners with the Department of Labor Job Centers to help you search for regular employment.
