Governor Executive Order for workforce development

Montana’s Governor Gianforte signed Executive Order 5-2025 that creates the 406 JOBS Initiative. His goal is to have state agencies align their priorities with national education and workforce development goals set by the White House. 

The Governor said, “406 JOBS stands for four pathways to employment, zero barriers to work, and six high-demand sectors. Those sectors include health care, construction, hospitality and recreation, advanced manufacturing and computing education and child care and financial and professional services. “
