As part of the Montana State Plan for the Carl D. Perkins Act of 2006 programs to help students explore career fields during high school through completion and onto post secondary education are being designated as Big Sky Pathways. One part of this plan is to provide career planning tools and identify high-skill, high-wage, and high demand occupations to serve as guides for students and educators in planning these current or emerging occupational opportunities.

Montana is currently in the process of developing the pathways and they will be available state-wide by the end of March 2009.  For more information during this transition period please contact Bernie Phelps, bphelps@mtech.edu or 406-496-4565.
