Minutes, April 7 Meeting

CMT Social
The event was successful, with a good attendance and good information presented on the struggles and updates from each organization.

Upcoming Training
We need at least 20 participants to put on the Housing and Family Services training. There are currently 19 registrants. Saundra will send a reminder for organizations to register participants.

COT Update
Lynn updated us on a few projects the COT is working on. One is a Construction Academy. Similar academies are in place in Eastern Montana and Helena. Possible opportunities for collaboration between the WIA Youth program and the COT were discussed. Lynn also told us about their continual efforts to educate people on “High Wage, High Demand, Non-Traditional” careers for men and women. The COT is doing outreach to promote people moving into these career areas.

Leadership Summit
Larry Swanson has been confirmed as a speaker for the Leadership Summit. We are still waiting to hear back from Mayor Engen’s office. The venue at St. Patrick Hospital has been reserved.

Next Meeting
The next CMT meeting will be on Thursday, June 4th at 9:00 am at the Missoula Job Service.
