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.

Comedian Chris Rock enjoys his work so much that he tells his audiences, "I don’t have a job, I have a career!" That’s C-A-R-E-E-R!

What’s the difference between a job and career? For Chris Rock and a lot of other people, it’s happiness. In a career, you feel exhilarated when you go to work, not deflated. You look forward to the next day. If you have job, you watch the clock and count the minutes until quitting time.

Recognizing the difference between a job and a career is as important for businesses as it is for job seekers because companies that offer opportunities for career advancement have the edge in recruiting the best talent. In addition, businesses that incentivize career advancement through training and education experience higher retention rates and increase innovation.
