SUMMARY:Hellgate Venture Network -  SAVE THE DATE: October 15th - Monthly Meet-Up
DESCRIPTION:September HVN Event RECAP\nLast month’s speaker\, Michael Gardner\, shared his family story that motivated him to start TruePenny as a means by which Montanans can actually own the businesses that operate and serve Montana. Michael also described the long and challenging journey he has been through just to establish the legal framework for TruePenny to exist. \nWe know that it is a significant challenge for many Montana businesses to access the capital they need to grow\, as they often fit somewhere between the growth requirements of angel and venture funding\, while lacking the collateral that a bank would need. TruePenny seeks to fill that gap and help Montanans invest in Montana’s businesses and economy. \nPaul Gladen said that while Michael’s talk “may not have been the best HVN pitch ever (it was still pretty darned good!)\, it might be the most important in terms of its potential impact on Montana’s entrepreneurial economy.” \n

SUMMARY:ADROIT Supports Helena's Largest Job Fair - Jobs Junction to Strengthen Montana’s Local Talent Pipeline - 10/28
DESCRIPTION:FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE \nADROIT Supports Helena’s Largest Job Fair – Jobs Junction to Strengthen Montana’s Local Talent Pipeline\nHELENA\, Montana — ADROIT Employment Resources is supporting Helena Jobs Junction 2026\, a community-wide career fair presented by the Helena Job Service Employers Committee (JSEC) on Wednesday\, October 28\, at the Lewis & Clark County Fairgrounds Exhibit Hall. \nFor Montana employers of every size and sector\, access to talent is essential. At the same time\, job seekers cannot pursue career paths or connect with organizations they do not know exist. \nJobs Junction will give employers from across the public\, private and nonprofit sectors an opportunity to showcase their organizations\, meet potential candidates and introduce attendees to the wide range of careers available in Helena and throughout Montana. \nThe event is designed to welcome candidates with varied backgrounds and experience levels—from students and people entering or returning to the workforce to skilled professionals\, experienced leaders and individuals considering a career change. Workforce\, education\, training\, veteran-support\, disability-support and community resource providers will also be available to help attendees explore career pathways\, develop valuable skills and overcome barriers to employment. \nTo create a more accessible experience\, veterans\, military reservists\, people with disabilities and their families are invited to attend during a dedicated early-access period from 11:00 to 11:30 a.m. This time will provide an opportunity to connect with participating employers and explore available employment and community resources before the event opens to the general public. \nWhen employers participate in local career events\, they do more than recruit for current openings\, they increase awareness of local career possibilities\, help people understand which skills employers value and give talented Montanans more reasons to build their careers here. \nADROIT encourages employers from every industry to participate—even if they are not hiring immediately. Jobs Junction offers an opportunity to increase organizational visibility\, strengthen connections within the community and begin building relationships with both current and future candidates. \nEvent Details \nHelena Jobs Junction 2026\nWednesday\, October 28\, 2026\nLewis & Clark County Fairgrounds Exhibit Hall \nEarly access: 11:00–11:30 a.m.\nFor veterans\, military reservists\, people with disabilities and their families \nOpen to the public: 11:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. \nAdmission is free for job seekers and community attendees. \nEmployer booths are available for $250.
