APICDA recognizes the interconnectedness of students, families and communities within the Aleutian-Pribilof region. We believe that expanding access to education and training offerings beyond CDQ member communities will help increase opportunities for networking, collaboration and information sharing, and in turn will help grow and strengthen our regional economy.
