| Ilisagvik College intends to use its Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Institutions Assisting Communities (AN/NHIAC) grant to provide the representatives of the 7,257 residents of the villages of the North Slope Borough with a solid foundation that will enable them to become self-sufficient in state and national affairs, local government, economic development, preserving heritage and culture, and combating unemployment. Their three-part project, based on priority training needs identified by the villages of North Slope, will: provide onsite training in classes that are necessary for the staff of these governmental organizations; create and produce desk manuals that will assist in the day-to-day operations of each village organization in the areas of accounting, human resources, grants, governance, and compliance; and create interactive training DVDs that will cover core subjects common to the three organizations.
