SUMMARY:Alaska Seafood Processing Leadership Institute\, Spring 2025
DESCRIPTION: Do you have an employee who\, with key training\, could help lead your business into the future? The Alaska Seafood Processing Leadership Institute (ASPLI) offers 80 hours of intensive professional development for employees recognized as having the potential to move up in your company. The institute is designed for mid-level managers in a seafood plant—production managers\, QC supervisors\, seafood engineers\, human resources\, and corporate or administrative personnel identified by their employer as having leadership potential. Others who might benefit include direct marketers\, small seafood processors or others closely involved in the seafood industry. ASPLI provides the technical training needed in the seafood industry to master leadership and management skills. \n\n\n\nThe Spring 2025 session is the second of a two-part program. Session 1 of ASPLI will be held November 4–8\, 2024\, at the UAF Kodiak Seafood and Marine Science Center\, where participants will learn from seafood faculty and local experts. Topics are the science of seafood\, shelf life\, quality and safety of Alaska’s fishery products\, product development\, lean manufacturing\, new technologies\, and seafood marketing. Participants will get hands-on experience in the KSMSC pilot plant\, and local seafood plant managers will offer perspectives on the seafood industry and management. \n\n\n\nAfter the Kodiak session\, ASPLI participants will return to their jobs and work with an in-house mentor to identify and complete a project that improves plant operations. \n\n\n\nThe final ASPLI session will convene in Anchorage\, March 3–7\, 2025\, and will focus on leadership training\, project management\, human resources\, regulatory environment\, and developing effective management styles. Experienced seafood leaders\, government regulators\, and management consultants will lead the classes. The goal of this sessions is to develop the confidence\, skills\, and the big-picture understanding needed by tomorrow’s managers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee ASPLI sample agenda (PDF; from previous event\, subject to revision). \n\n\n\nThe fee for this program is $2\,200 per person. Employers will be responsible for airfare and lodging to and from the training sites. University of Alaska Fairbanks vocational training funds offset a portion of the cost of ASPLI. The full value of this training program is approximately $6\,000 per person. \n\n\n\nApplication information is available on the ASPLI Fall 2024 website. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Our Way of Life workshop
DESCRIPTION: The workshop Our Way of Life is part of the project Advancing Understanding of Climate Adaptation and Resilience in Gulf of Alaska Fishing Communities\, led by NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center in collaboration with fishing organizations in Cordova\, Kodiak\, and Sitka. The project is supported by Alaska Sea Grant\, Alaska Ocean Observing System\, Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve\, and other partners. \n\n\n\nThe workshop brings together project participants and Tribal organizations\, including the Kodiak Area Native Association\, Native Village of Eyak\, Sitka Tribe of Alaska\, and the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska. Because fishing is a way of life and vital for Gulf of Alaska residents\, these groups are working to synthesize efforts and foster closer collaboration on climate resilience and adaptation planning. \n\n\n\nThe project Advancing Understanding of Climate Adaptation and Resilience in Gulf of Alaska Fishing Communities addresses the critical need for fishing communities in the Gulf of Alaska to formalize fisheries resilience strategies in adaptation plans. The project focuses on three of the region’s most dependent and diverse fishing communities\, Cordova\, Kodiak\, and Sitka\, that also serve as infrastructure\, service\, and cultural hubs for smaller outlying communities. Through participatory research nested in local and regional fisheries networks\, this project will advance an understanding of climate adaptation and resilience for communities engaged in and dependent on fishing for economic\, social\, and cultural well-being. \n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR WORKSHOP \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlaska Sea Grant accommodation and code of conduct\n\n\n\nAlaska Sea Grant is committed to providing safe and welcoming environments for all who participate in activities\, meetings\, or events.
