Alaska Railroad Tour Guide Program |
 |
January 26 - April 18, 2009 |
The Alaska Railroad Tour Guide Training Program was started in 1980 to offer Alaska’s high school students a unique opportunity
to gain important workplace skills and provide guests of the
Alaska Railroad with first class customer service and narration of
the railbelt’s rich history. The Alaska Railroad is proud of our
partnerships with local school districts and takes great pride in
our Tour Guides. Many graduates of the Tour Guide Training
Program are still working in the Travel and Tourism Industry;
some even own their own businesses.
