Employment & Education

Supplemental Youth Employment Training Program (SYETP)

SYETP

The Supplemental Youth Employment Training Program provides practical work experience for Kodiak Island Alaska Native youth ages 14 to 24.

Young people placed in a successful match with a local business are added to KANA’s payroll for up to 150 hours, and are eligible for school credit in the Kodiak Island Borough School District.

SYETP offers young people a chance to experience real-world labor expectations, and provides opportunities for career instruction, financial literacy training, academic improvement, and social growth.

The aim is to build strong communities by providing youth with the experiences they need to enter adulthood.

KANA offers practical help for individuals to gain the training needed to enter today’s workforce. We help those who are unable to secure fulfilling employment due to lack of experience, education, or marketable skills. Through guidance and counseling, training or education, and funding assistance, we help people get to work.
