Welcome!  

"Superior Service for a Working Montana, Continuous Improvement for Increased Customer Satisfaction."  We are here to develop and maintain a high quality workforce system for the state of Montana that supports and enhances the economic health of the business community as well as to provide a prepared workforce.

Thank you for visiting the Workforce Services Division Resource Page!  Our public libraries around the state are a tremendous resource to all Montanans and visitors to our beautiful state.  It is exciting to partner with librarians to reach more people who could benefit from the services and programs available through the Job Service.                                                                                                                           

Even the most experienced people find they may need help when faced with the changing dynamics of today’s workplace.  Montanans have a wealth of resources almost at their fingertips, whether looking for a job or navigating the complex world of human resources.  Librarians and the public library are one of the first places their patrons often turn to for help.

The Montana Department of Labor and Industry, Workforce Services Division provides services designed to meet the needs of job seekers and employers.  Job Service websites offer practical assistance—ranging from lists of available jobs, tips on job search, occupational and career guidance, human resources or accessing other government services.
