SCC Community Relations Director Lorraine Roach said that this grant is necessary because it will help the center purchase laptops for the Auto/CAD design courses they provide and computer desks and chairs in the classroom.

Roach said that the summit is a "great plan."

She said: "Our goal is to help people get rid of the cycle of low-paying jobs, enter a career path, and provide opportunities for career development." "We call our student leaders because they are the leaders of their lives."

The Pinnacle Career Center is located in the Fort Irwin Ranch in Stevensville. It is a non-profit education center that provides a six-month tuition-free personal and professional training program. The organization uses a unique design that can help anyone over the age of 18 with a high school diploma or GED choose a career and receive the required training.

Peak Career Center plans to start its first semester in November for six months and graduate at the end of April. Their registration application has doubled in the second session.

The program is a 24-week commitment, divided into three parts: personal development, skills development and professional development. The program provides family gatherings and group activities in terms of guidance and relationship building.

The first six weeks were about personal development.

Roach said: "This is a very intensive course involving personal reflection, personal communication skills, interpersonal skills, teamwork, resume writing, interviews and personality assessment." "It aims to help people understand their talents and Passion and hone a career path that matches their personal goals, lifestyle and talents so that they can succeed."

Career options include medical fields, business, architecture, professional courses, technical industries, and agriculture.

SSC works with employers in Ravalli and Missoula counties who are interested in recruiting graduates from the program.

"We start with supply and demand," Roach said. "We met with the local personnel department, the Ministry of Labor, and we are committed to achieving the greatest achievement for our graduates. We are offering an intensive course, which is a certified accelerated course."

Roach said that the “Power of Change” grants help reduce startup costs, and other donations are always welcome.

The Force for Change is a community expansion program funded by members of the Lavalli Electric Cooperative (REC), who round their electricity bills every month. The mission of POC is to help local organizations address unmet needs in areas such as youth, education, public safety, health, community and emergency services.
