Thinking B.I.G in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley.: Business, industry, government participate in workforce training planning

One of the major benefits to having the Bitterroot College Program of the University of Montana in the valley is that it will provide an educated workforce for businesses that are looking to hire locally.

That’s why the BCP’s leaders decided to form a new committee to seek the input of local businesses to find out exactly what skills the college program should be teaching students to make them more employable in the valley.

The BIG (Business, Industry and Government) Committee will be headed by Rick O’Brien, executive director of the Bitterroot Valley Chamber of Commerce.
