Jobs for Tomorrow

Non-traditional Career Outreach and Education

Jobs For Tomorrow works to raise awareness and promote nontraditional career opportunities for youth 14-25 years old. We educate young people about occupational growth sectors that can lead to high-wage, high-skill employment. We also identify and support youth who have an interest in nontraditional training and employment by linking them with mentors and employers in nontraditional fields. Presentations in high schools, programs and other community locations give youth the opportunity to see men and women in nontraditional careers through panels and workshops addressing the challenges and rewards of nontraditional careers. Jobs For Tomorrow, nontraditional Career Outreach and Education, is a project of Women's Opportunity and Resource Development, Inc., funded through a grant of the Carl D. Perkins Act and the Montana State Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education.

How Jobs for Tomorrow can help:

• Present workshops and panel presentations in local high schools, programs that serve youth, and other community locations.


• Link youth with mentors and employers in nontraditional fields.


• Organize "Survival Skills" workshops for girls and young women interested in nontraditional occupations that prepare them for the challenges and rewards of nontraditional employment.


• Hold an annual "Career Rodeo" that highlights hands-on experience with nontraditional occupations.
