Training Trust
THE ALASKA TEAMSTER-EMPLOYER SERVICE TRAINING TRUST (ATESTT)
The Training Trust employs a full-time training staff dedicated to serving the membership with access to quality; pertinent, equitable and timely training; and up-to-date, vocationally oriented training programs. Courses offered include hazardous material handling, commercial drivers' licensing, computers, first aid, computer electronics, commercial truck driving, and a number of other classes/training.
To receive training through the Training Trust, you must have worked 400 hours through an employer who contributed to the Training Trust through a collective bargaining agreement within the past 24-month period, or have a firm offer of employment from a participating employer.
The Trust is administered by a joint Board of Trustees. The Board is comprised of an equal number of employer representatives and employee (Union) representatives.
If you have any questions about your eligibility for training or the courses offered, please contact your ATESTT office at (907) 278-3674 in Anchorage or (907) 479-8451 in Fairbanks.
