Workforce Development and Training
The Center’s workforce development focus began in 2005 as a partnership between our organization and Montana’s Child and Family Services Division to educate welfare workers statewide. Over the years, our work has expanded to include eLearning, training, and coaching for public health professionals, educators, behavioral health, human service, and healthcare providers in community-based, state, and Tribal agencies across Montana.
