Welcome to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Career Center. As part of the Anchorage School District, KCC is the connection between school and work where students can explore careers and apply academics in a vocational setting. The program is designed to introduce students to various career fields with a hands-on curriculum. At KCC we teach and promote professionalism, with 25 percent of the grade in each class based on professionalism standards such as attendance and safety gear requirements. Many of our classes also grant academic credit in math, science, language arts, social studies and health. KCC also offers TechPrep credit with universities, trade organizations and technical schools. Some classes offer concurrent TechPrep credit which means undergraduate college credit can be earned simultaneously (for a small fee) with high school credits. The King Career Center also offers connections for future employment or education through school-business partnerships, advisory committees, TechPrep, and the relationships our instructors have developed with employers. Select students with an exemplary profile can receive high school credit for on-the-job training. KCC also has strong connections with trade organizations and each year students are accepted into apprenticeships and other training programs that lead to excellent jobs. The Alaska Department of Labor Youth Hiring Center is located at KCC and the career guides are instrumental in helping KCC students enter the workforce. KCC is your ticket to a successful career. Our counselors, career resource advisor, teachers and support staff are here to help students be successful, learn good work habits and make plans for the future.

Take advantage of the many wonderful opportunities available at KCC. My door is always open.
