"Each guest will complete a project with students in conjunction with topics being studied in their math class."

"The college also will continue to work closely with local businesses and industries to develop training programs that local employers need."

"Partnerships such as this help the college offer wonderful opportunities for young people interesting in learning sought-after skills and for displaced older workers eager to re-enter the well-paid work world. But they also are an essential part of any plan to grow Montana’s economy."
