If it means working in a factory the only thing we have like that are fish processing plants.
They both are skilled trades with machining, grinding, welding, design build, MFG. backgrounds. They figure to look for part time work and then go from there so they can check out the sights to. They have the funds to get by for a season.

There is always work locally (is nome of the local shops or businesses) for people with such skills, but the best jobs in these fields are controlled by the unions. However, even the unions sometimes hire welders and such temporarily once the workers have the AK fitness cards. I have also seems some who are trained through the union, and then hired.
