Credit Union 1 Alaska

As we reflect on National Career Development Month, we’re excited about the future and the growth of our talented team. We’re committed to empowering them every step of the way. One of the ways we nurture leadership growth is through our commitment to providing ongoing education and professional development. Over the years, many of our CU1 leaders have completed the three-year Management School with America's Credit Unions. This comprehensive program offers a deep dive into the principles of credit union operations, leadership, and the unique mission-driven focus that sets our industry apart. In addition to the Credit Union Management School, several of our leaders have also earned their Credit Union Development Education (CUDE) certification from The National Credit Union Foundation. This certification reflects a commitment to understanding the broader impact of credit unions in communities and society, and the skills needed to lead with both purpose and effectiveness. At CU1, we’re proud to invest in the growth of our leaders by equipping them with the knowledge and tools they need to make an even greater impact on our members and the communities we serve. By prioritizing continuous learning, we ensure our organization is prepared to adapt, evolve, and lead the way in delivering exceptional service and value to our members. #CareerDevelopment #EmployeeGrowth #NationalCareerDevelopmentMonth

November is National Career Development Month — a time to focus on the value of career growth and planning. We’d like to take this opportunity to highlight a special team at Credit Union 1: our Member Assistance team. This dedicated group is deeply passionate about supporting our most financially vulnerable members, and they go above and beyond to help them get back on track. But it doesn’t stop there. With the guidance of exceptional leadership, every team member is earning their Financial Counselor Certification, equipping them with the expertise to deliver meaningful, long-term financial education to our members. This certification will not only enhance their ability to provide immediate support but also give them the tools to help our members build a solid financial future — an impact that will be immense and ongoing. #CareerDevelopment #EmployeeGrowth #NationalCareerDevelopmentMonth

November is National Career Development Month, and at Credit Union 1, we’re committed to helping our employees grow and advance in their careers.

So far, we’ve created pathways for seven career tracks, with more on the way! These resources empower our employees to take control of their career progression by providing transparency, direction and actionable goals. #CareerDevelopment #EmployeeGrowth #NationalCareerDevelopmentMonth

November is National Career Development Month, a time to reflect on the importance of career planning and growth. At Credit Union 1, we know that prioritizing our employees’ development is key to not only their success but the success of the organization as a whole. This year, we took a major step forward by revamping our performance management system to ensure every team member has the tools and support they need to thrive. Our updated approach offers employees a structured yet personalized space to discuss their career journeys, share feedback and set meaningful goals. Career development is a continuous process, and at Credit Union 1, we’re proud to support our team in every stage of that journey. #CareerDevelopment #EmployeeGrowth #NationalCareerDevelopmentMonth

Credit Union 1 is soon to be the first credit union in Kotzebue and the only credit union in Alaska (perhaps the world?) that's north of the Arctic Circle! As Alaska's only state-chartered credit union, we prioritize the financial well-being of every member across our vast landscape. We understand that rural communities like Kotzebue often face limited access to financial services, and we are committed to changing that. By expanding our branches, technology, and services, we aim to empower our members and foster a more inclusive financial landscape, no matter where you live. On this Alaska Day, let’s celebrate our shared commitment to building a brighter future for all Alaskans! https://cu1.info/4ev4fO9
