The Montana Work-based Learning Collaborative (WBLC) is conducting a survey to learn employers’ satisfaction with workforce recruitment, readiness, and retention, as well as their experiences with work-based learning. The information will inform programs and policies so that young Montanans are better prepared for employment success and employers gain skilled workers.

This survey is intended to be taken by one representative from a business or organization, who has an understanding of their employee recruitment, readiness, and retention practices and experiences. We welcome responses from private/for profit business, public/government agencies, and nonprofit organizations.
Results from the survey responses will be aggregated to protect anonymity and no identifying information will be shared. All data collected is for research purposes connected to this specific project and will not be used for commercial purposes or shared with third parties. Emails are collected solely for the purpose of tracking responses and sharing results.

Survey results are shared on the WBLC Data Dashboard. Anyone can access the data and compare workforce satisfaction across industries, geographies, and employer sizes. All results will be de-identified. The survey will be administered in the spring every two years so that we can measure changes with workforce satisfaction over time.

We expect that the survey will take 20-30 minutes to complete, depending on your answers, and recommend that you take it on a computer rather than a phone. If you would like to review the survey questions before you begin, please find a PDF version here. The survey will remain open until March 31st.


Thank you for your time!

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact: Gabrielle Rowley (growley@reachhighermontana.org). The survey was developed by social impact consulting firm Kinetic West in partnership with the Montana Chamber of Commerce, several statewide industry associations, and WBLC.
