Lynden Blog North Pole High School students visit Alaska West Express

Last month, Alaska West Express hosted the North Pole High School auto shop class in Fairbanks. Tim Faultner (pictured above), Director of Maintenance, and Mark Pliska, HSSE Specialist, provided a tour of the maintenance shop and talked about what it's like to be a Lynden mechanic. "This was a great outreach activity with very positive feedback from the school faculty and students," Mark says. "The tour was part of our overall mechanic apprenticeship/recruiting initiative that we implemented a year ago. Develop, recruit, and hire locally to meet current and future employee needs."
