Employment Support Program Application

The Employment Support program is designed to assist shareholders to obtain, maintain or advance in employment by providing support services that will assist shareholders, descendants and spouses of shareholders to purchase or pay for certification fees, work-related clothing/supplies, transportation, tools/equipment or other related supports to obtain/retain/advance in a job with BBNC companies or other employers.

All support services are dependent on availability of funding. BBNC’s funding cycle operates on a fiscal year that begins in April and ends in March. For additional information, please contact Buchi Lind at (907) 265-7893. If you reside outside of the Anchorage area, please call 1-800-426-3602.

Important Information to Know: Employment support funding cannot be utilized for reimbursement for work gear/tools or transportation costs that have already been incurred by the applicant. Budget for this program is limited. Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis and must be complete before funding is approved and processed. Applications can take five to seven business days to process.
