The Alaska Teamsters have had a training program for many years, training Alaskans in those jobs represented by Teamsters such as construction drivers, end dump drivers, concrete mixer drivers, technical engineers, boom truck operators, forklift operator and warehouse workers. However, it was only in the 1990’s and early 2000 that the joint administered Teamster/AGC training trust registered their programs with the U.S. Department of Labor. The Teamsters Technical Engineers (Surveyors) program was certified by the U.S. DOL in 1995 and the Construction Driver Apprenticeship Program was certified in 2000.

The Alaska Teamsters-Employers Service primary training facilities are located on Whitney Road in the industrial area of Anchorage. The school employs six full-time and three part-time instructors. The school provides training in the following areas: Construction Drivers, Technical Engineers, Fast Track CDL A, Construction Driving Upgrades, Road Skills Assessment Training, CDL A and CDL B, Passenger endorsement, boom truck, forklift certification, hazardous waste first responder and general site worker, 49 CFR 172.700 Transportation Awareness and other classes in safety and first aid, MSHA and NSTC training. The Construction Driver Apprenticeship Program is a two year, 2400 hour program and the Technical Engineers apprenticeship program is a four year, 4000 hour program.
