Employment : Career Development : Training & Education

MDT's training programs are intended to provide employees with the additional knowledge needed to advance in their careers, or to qualify for management positions.

Our inhouse training covers a wide range of job-related subjects from basic software training to industry-specific trends and innovations. Ongoing instruction provided by industry trainers includes information on engineering, preconstruction, materials, and maintenance.

Mentoring
MDT also offers mentoring programs at various levels within the organization. Currently the Maintenance Division is offering the Maintenance Management Mentoring program designed to address the impending retirement of approximately 80% of the division’s management staff statewide.

Licensing
MDT encourages its Professional Engineers (PE) and Professional Land Surveyors (PLS) to maintain their respective licenses by obtaining the 30 PDH (Professional Development Hour) units during the two-year renewal cycle.

For information about licensing requirements in Montana, please visit the Department of Labor and Industry’s website www.engineer.mt.gov and read ARM 24.183.2105 Continuing Professional Competency—Continuing Education.
