New web development training course offers new opportunities

Alaska-Beginning in September, the Alaska Vocational Technical Center (AVTEC) will offer a Web Development Technology program at its Anchorage campus on Muldoon Road.

"AVTEC is responding to a need for more Web specialists for business and industry," AVTEC Director Fred Esposito said. "Individual courses are also available, so the program will also provide the opportunity for Anchorage-area information technology professionals to upgrade their skills." Classes, which will be daily Monday through Friday from 5:30-9:30 p.m., are limited to 16 students.

The program runs Sept. 14 through July 30. Successful completion of the program will earn both an AVTEC Web Developer Certificate and an AVTEC Application Developer Certificate. The cost of the program, including tuition, books and laptop computer is $5,350.

"We are excited about the potential to serve a greater number of students by moving this program to Anchorage," Esposito said. "Employers tell us they need workers with these skills. The training will allow employers to hire locally."

AVTEC offers 16 long-term training programs ranging from six weeks to 11 months and roughly 60 short-term training programs that take from a week to six weeks to complete. Call 800-478-5389 for more information.
