Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Just a short note that the Department of Labor has launched its Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) website this week. It’s accessible at http://www.doleta.gov/wired.

The WIRED Initiative, launched in November 2005, stresses the critical role talent development plays in creating effective regional economic development strategies.

WIRED goes beyond traditional strategies for worker preparation by bringing together state, local and federal entities; academic institutions (including K-12, community colleges and universities); investment groups; foundations; and business and industry to address the challenges associated with building a globally competitive and prepared workforce.
