Highlands College launches broadband micro-credentials to meet Montana workforce demand, TDS Telecom to offer scholarships - Amanda Badovinac, Montana Tech

Highlands College of Montana Tech is preparing to launch three new broadband-focused micro-credential programs designed to quickly train workers for high-demand careers supporting infrastructure and connectivity across Montana. The short-term credentials, each between 16 and 19 credits, will include certificates in heavy equipment operation, fiber splicing, and warehousing. The programs are designed to provide hands-on training that prepares students for immediate employment in growing industries. “Highlands College is excited to offer these credentials to train the workforce who will bring internet to every Montanan even in the most rural of places,” Highlands College Dean Tammy Burke said. “We are looking forward to training students this fall and feel these micro-credentials will provide work-ready skills for these students.”
