The Miles City Career Development Workforce Center (CDWC) at Miles Community College will be doing some restructuring soon - but will still be in business! Career Development will continue to work with students and the community through the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and the State Displaced Homemaker Program, as well as offering placement services at Miles Community College.

In addition to providing education scholarships to eligible participants, CDWC also helps with career testing and advising, soft skills training, resume preparation, interviewing advice, completing job applications and job search and placement. These services are free-of-charge and will continue uninterrupted at MCC.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) will soon be investing money in the Workforce Investment Act. If you are in need of training or financial support while attending school, now is the time to request that support. The Miles City Job Service and Career Development, WIA partners, urge students and others needing help with employment and training, to contact either agency for more information. Both agencies are anxious to provide increased employment and training services to our community.

Recent changes at Career Development involve the Work Readiness Component (WoRC). The WoRC program's main focus is assisting welfare recipients in their efforts to become employed and self-sufficient. Miles Community College is focusing their sponsorships on programs that directly impact students and has decided to pass their sponsorship of the WoRC program to a more appropriate sponsor. Employment and training services will continue uninterrupted to all eligible WIA and State participants.
