蒙大拿州劳工厅将「毕业生就业计划」扩展至全州高校
蒙大拿州劳工与工业厅（DLI）10月21日宣布，该厅的「蒙大拿毕业生就业计划」（Jobs for Montana's Graduates，JMG）将走出高中课堂，扩展至全州高校与教育机构，这是州政府「406 JOBS」就业倡议的一部分。首批合作方包括弗拉特黑德谷社区学院、米苏拉学院、迈尔斯社区学院、道森社区学院、大瀑布学院的大学与职业准备中心，以及蒙大拿大学新闻学院的蒙大拿媒体实验室。
劳工与工业厅长 Sarah Swanson 表示，高校是帮助学生做好职业准备、为雇主输送人才的重要伙伴，扩展 JMG 能让更多学生获得技能培训、支持与职业人脉。参与学生将练习沟通、团队协作、职业素养、简历写作、面试与职业规划等实用技能，并可考取全国认可的 JAG 劳动力就绪证书。
DLI 同时开放启动资金：新设 JMG 项目的高校、学区与社区伙伴可按规模申请3500至1万美元不等的补助。高中阶段完成该证书的学生，其成绩已依州 STARS 法案（众议院第252号法案）登入州证书登记系统，学校可获得相应的「未来就绪」款项。
Montana Expands Jobs for Montana's Graduates Program to Colleges Statewide
The Montana Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) announced on October 21 that Jobs for Montana's Graduates (JMG) will expand beyond high school classrooms to colleges and education institutions statewide, as part of the state's 406 JOBS initiative. Initial partners include Flathead Valley Community College, Missoula College, Miles Community College, Dawson Community College, the college and career readiness center at Great Falls College, and the Montana Media Lab at the University of Montana School of Journalism.
Commissioner Sarah Swanson said colleges are key partners in preparing students for careers and supplying employers with talent, and that expanding JMG gives more students skills training, support and professional networks. Students practice communication, teamwork, workplace professionalism, resume writing, interviewing and career planning, and can earn the nationally recognized JAG workforce-readiness credential.
DLI is also offering startup funding of $3,500 to $10,000, scaled by size, for institutions, districts and community partners launching new JMG programs.
