PFL Tech Inc. is a marketing technology company that provides sales enablement and marketing automation solutions, as well asprinting, mailing, and fulfillment services. They also provide some great Montana Jobs.

College has a lot in common with your cable TV package, according to Michael Horn, a principal consultant at innovation agency Entangled Solutions. As schools plow money into new dorms, administrative costs and sports stadiums, some students find themselves paying for "channels" they have no use for. Horn is co-chairing a new group to make "cutting the cord" a viable option for students who find college painfully expensive and poorly suited to their needs.

A promising example has emerged in the form of computer science “bootcamps,” a rapidly growing college alternative that puts students through compressed programs to prepare them for coding jobs.
