UIC is projected to grow substantially in the coming years to become a top 3 company in Alaska by 2030.

As a proud Alaska Native Corporation, our success brings growth and benefits to our Inupiat shareholders. The size and diversity of our operations means we have a broad variety of career opportunities. We recruit only qualified people looking to join a workforce characterized by strong leadership, competent and hard-working staff, and a superior work environment with a focus on career development, great wages, and benefits.

The Strategic Trajectory Committee (STC) will implement Executive Leadership Team (ELT) directives and act as the primary internal review committee (e.g., scientific and educational merit). As a committee, the STC will delineate and create actionable procedures to recommend projects and activities. While each member will be responsible for a specific area of the COE’s strategic direction, the STC as a group will strengthen connections between strategic areas (i.e., research, workforce, education, community engagement). The STC is expected to bring concerns to the ELT regarding COE operations and trajectory and propose solutions for the ELT to consider and implement. The STC will (1) meet monthly (at a minimum) to coordinate cross-cutting strategic activities, (2) participate in monthly meetings with the ELT, and (3) participate in DHS meetings and quarterly CEC meetings when requested.
