Retaining college grads key to Missoula’s economic growth

As thousands of students begin a new school year at the University of Montana, we not only say "welcome," but "plan on sticking around for a good, long while."

Whether freshman or senior, born and bred here or a newcomer, each UM student helps to shape our community’s future. At the Missoula Economic Partnership, we want that involvement to be active and lasting. In other words, "We want you to thrive. We want you here to stay."

College Won’t Train You for a Job, and That’s Just Fine

How many jobs are there today that didn’t even exist 10 years ago? How do you train for a job that doesn’t exist?

College is a lot like going to the gym to work out. You run on the treadmill, lift weights, and even play some basketball. All of these things help you get into a fit condition that will be useful for other things in life.
