Mission & Goals of the Trust Training Cooperative (TTC)
TTC promotes career development opportunities for direct service workers* and their supervisors engaged with Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority beneficiaries, by ensuring that technical assistance and training is accessible and coordinated by:
- Goal 1 – Leading and partnering with training entities
- Goal 2 – Brokering and facilitating non-academic training based on identified training gaps and provider need
- Goal 3 – Utilizing tools that assist with training delivery
*Direct service worker is a position that requires a bachelor’s degree or less and works at least 75% directly with consumers.
Why did we get started?
There is a lack of access to education and training for agencies and their staff serving Trust beneficiaries, especially small agencies and agencies in rural areas of the state. As a result the workforce need is far greater than the availability of training and skilled workers.
Trust Workforce Initiative Vision
By 2015, Beneficiaries of the Alaska Mental Health Trust shall have access to a capable, culturally competent workforce to support their communities and families across the life span.
