Employment Development

Employee Development is a critical component in the delivery of educational and support services.  Flathead Valley Community College believes that its success is largely determined by the motivation and competence of its employees.  This motivation and competence is to be encouraged and developed as part of the responsibilities of all supervisors and administrators.

In order to assist in the achievement of this goal, the College may provide financial assistance for employees to:

  • Enroll in college courses
  • Participate in development and training programs
  • Attend relevant conferences, seminars and workshops
