    Construction program for women gets national award Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, AK
    After her participation in AWP, Bodding was accepted into the Northern Carpenters Local 1243 Apprenticeship program. AWP helped cover her initial tuition fees, offered food and fuel cards and gave Bodding a clothing voucher for work clothing and steel-toed boots.

    Dietrich said local construction organizations have been supportive of the program and instrumental in its success. The Fairbanks Building and Construction Trades Council provides the five weeks of skill training while apprenticeships are administered jointly by unions and contractors.
