Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao: Remarks Prepared at the Montana Women's Conference, Kalispell, Montana, Friday, July 29, 2004
Kalispell is a model of the partnership between employers, community colleges and Job Service Workforce Centers. I just visited the Kalispell Job Link Workforce Center and saw firsthand what they are doing to help workers access training and find good jobs. One of the most important things to know about the economy is that lifelong learning and retraining are the keys to building a successful career in the 21 st Century workplace. Our economy is changing rapidly and new jobs are being created. But many of these require updated skills and training. That's why the President announced a new job-training program in January—the Jobs for the 21 st Century Initiative. It will expand the ability of community colleges right here in Montana to train workers for jobs in high-growth industries and link them with employers. So there are many resources available to help workers pursue their dreams. Please spread the word! ... [Read More]

Hungry Horse Dam is on the South Fork of the Flathead River, 15 miles south of the west entrance to Glacier National Park and 20 miles northeast of Kalispell, Montana. The dam was built as part of the Hungry Horse Project to provide hydroelectric power and flood control. At 564 feet, the dam is the 10th highest in the U.S. In addition to static and interactive exhibits that cover local area history and the construction of Hungry Horse Dam, the Visitor Center offers free tours of the dam's crest.
