Urban-rural partnership "One Montana" helps students learn about state’s business diversity

Business students hit the bricks in downtown Billings this week to get an education outside of hitting the books.

As part of a program called One Montana http://www.onemontana.org/ , students from Billings West High and St. Labre High School visited several local establishments to learn about the nuts and bolts — and struggles — of running a business.

"It’s like a real hands-on experience," said Sarah Prescott, a West student.

Bridging the Rural-Urban Divide

Picture a world where leaders find common ground rather than lines in the sand.

Where businesses cross rural-urban boundaries to build markets and support networks.

Where small towns and urban centers have equal opportunity to grow and prosper.

You can find what unites us rather than what divides us. You can create One Montana.
