Yuut Elitnaurviat offers Commercial Driver Training programs to meet the needs of local employers and students. Ensuring a reliable transportation system and transportation workforce is critical to both our nation and our region’s economic growth and well-being. A reliable transportation system begins with meeting the demand for commercial drivers which deliver freight, keep our water and sewer systems functioning, and are an integral part of the oil and gas, mining, and construction trades. Our training program allows local Alaskans to obtain the technical and professional skills required for entry-level employment in a Commercial Driving Career.
