Mature Alaskans Seeking Skills Training 

The MASST program assists seniors with developing marketable job skills. It is an opportunity to earn extra income while receiving part-time job site or educational training. It also offers basic computer training and a workshop to develop job search skills. Seniors receive an hourly wage while in the training program.

The program matches up seniors with local nonprofit or public service agencies, while focusing on the development of participants' resume writing skills, computer, and language skills. After training, Nine Star helps participants get regular jobs.
