Alaska Metal & Mechanical

Not every project in the apprenticeship is ductwork, equipment, or installations.

Sometimes it’s craftsmanship.

This copper rose was created by one of our 2nd Year Sheet Metal Apprentices during copper fabrication training. From the hand-formed petals to the oxidized leaves and finishing details, projects like this help apprentices develop precision, patience, creativity, and a deeper understanding of how materials behave.

The skills learned in apprenticeship don’t just build better tradespeople—they build problem solvers, craftsmen, and future leaders for our communities.

Every cut, bend, weld, and detail adds another tool to the toolbox.

Great work showcasing both talent and craftsmanship! 🌹🔨

In observance of Memorial Day, the Alaska Metal & Mechanical Apprenticeship offices will be closed as we take time to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

We wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day!

The skills learned in apprenticeship don’t stop when class is over - Several AMMA apprentices recently put their fabrication skills to work building custom skateboard ramps and rails—then wrapped up the season by putting them to use!

From measuring and layout to fabrication, welding, and finishing, the same techniques used on real job sites can also be applied to personal projects, hobbies, and creative ideas outside of work.

One of the best parts about learning a skilled trade is that the knowledge stays with you for life. Whether it’s building infrastructure for your community or creating something for yourself and your friends, the possibilities are endless once you know how to work with your hands.

At AMMA, apprentices don’t just learn a job—they develop practical skills they can carry into every part of their lives.

Great work by everyone involved, and an awesome way to close out the class season! 🛹🔨 - The CSJQ Tier 2 Implementation Project received $2,415,709 (100% of its total cost) from a grant awarded under the Critical Sectors Job Quality grant, as implemented by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration.
