SHAREHOLDER OUTREACH
Doyon is growing at a rapid pace. As the corporation continues to diversify, a well-trained workforce is essential. This substantial growth presents an opportunity to significantly increase shareholder opportunities. In keeping with Doyon’s mission and values, the Doyon Family of Companies takes our goal of increasing shareholder opportunities seriously, which is why the shareholder outreach program was developed.

Shareholder outreach offers many support services, including:
  • Informing shareholders of skills, training and/or education requirements for Doyon jobs.
  • Informing shareholders on how to find gainful employment within Doyon.
  • Informing college students of internships within the Doyon Family of Companies.
  • Encouraging youth readiness for employment opportunities with Doyon.
  • Identifying funding for higher education and/or training.
  • Offering Doyon Management Training (every 2 years).
  • Offering roustabout training (as needed).
SHAREHOLDER OUTREACH FAIR TO BE HELD IN FAIRBANKS
Doyon, Limited’s shareholder outreach program will hold a shareholder outreach fair on Tuesday, March 16, 2010 in Fairbanks, Alaska. The fair will take place at the Doyon Chiefs Court from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

TALENT BANK
A major initiative of the shareholder outreach program is the Doyon talent bank profile. This is a tool that allows shareholders to advise Doyon of their skills and interests. The talent bank will assist Doyon in increasing shareholder hire within the Doyon Family of Companies. Please note that the talent bank profile is not an application for employment, and it is still the shareholder’s responsibility to pursue employment opportunities by applying for current job openings at www.doyon.com.

CAREER EXPLORATION
Finding a career and planning for your future can sometimes seem overwhelming. Whether you are in high school or a recent college student, it is important to determine what your interests and abilities currently are.

Why is this important? The answer is simply because you can save yourself a lot of time when it comes to picking a college major. When you understand your skill sets, you can develop them early and better prepare yourself for your future in the working world.

A self-assessment is the first step in finding a career that is right for you. Below you will find a couple resources to help you evaluate your skills and values, and match them to a career that is right for you:
  • Alaska Career Information System (AKCIS): This site is open to all Doyon shareholders. To obtain the log-in and password information, email outreach@doyon.com with “AKCIS” in the subject line.
