WORKFORCE PARTNERS

The 406 JOBS initiative envisions a workforce landscape that prepares Montanans for employment and connects them with modern, secure, good-paying jobs. As workforce partners, you have a vital role to play in creating that landscape.

WHO ARE WORKFORCE PARTNERS?

  • Local workforce development groups
  • Community support service providers
  • Employers and industry groups
  • Organized labor
  • Education and training providers
  • Economic and community development groups
  • Legislators and policymakers
  • Facilitators

A COORDINATED EFFORT

By creating sector partnerships, you and other workforce partners can collaborate to put programs and policies in place — or align existing efforts across Montana — that ensure employees are fully prepared for promising careers in high-demand sectors.

Your coordinated effort can effectively ready Montanans for modern jobs by ensuring they have:

  • Necessary education and training
  • Digital, financial and civic literacy
  • Employability skills
  • Housing and child care support
  • Veteran support
  • Access to training programs aligned with industry
  • No accessibility issues
  • The benefit of modern hiring practices

Montana needs you and workforce partners like you to establish the conditions for a modern workforce to thrive, so employees and job seekers can follow four clear pathways to employment in six high-demand sectors, with zero barriers in their way.
