  • Lead the strategic planning process for an integrated workforce development system, in consultation with Community Management Teams;
  • Create performance standards that identify effective workforce development initiatives;
  • Coordinate the state’s workforce investment initiatives with the state’s economic development plan;
  • Promote a system of workforce development that responds to the lifelong learning needs of Montana’s workforce;
  • Encourage public/private partnerships and facilitate innovations in workforce development policy and practices; and
  • Ensure a quality workforce system by evaluating results and supporting high standards and continuous improvement.
