Workplace issues face education leaders.
Byline: Mary Pickett
Oct. 26--Higher-education leaders heard some familiar themes -- including that the state needs more trained workers -- Thursday morning during one of the last listening sessions organized by the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education.
Todd Buchanan and Janine Pease, who are Billings members of the Montana Board of Regents, and Mick Robinson, the associate commissioner for fiscal affairs, led the public meeting at the Montana State University Billings Downtown Campus.
Later in the day, they met with MSU Billings faculty and students.
One recurring message emerging from the dozen listening sessions around the state has been employers having a hard time finding qualified workers because of the state's low unemployment rate, Robinson said.
That message was repeated at the Billings meeting.
The morning session was split between a discussion of work force development attended by about 40 people and health care issues that attracted about 20.
