ministry. Students are encouraged to meld all of their interests, talents, and skills into their career path and discover how they can t themselves into the needs of the community and its workforce.
Because around a quarter of Carroll’s alumni stay in the area and work here, Helena’s area businesses bene t tremendously from the partnerships that are created through internships as well as research projects with undergraduates in a variety of departments, including math, computer science, psychology, health sciences, and public health. These students have undertaken research for the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, database information research for Montana’s O ce of Public Instruction, and
data analytics for Food Share and Intermountain. Carroll’s engineering students are eager to gain experience
in the eld of water works. On the other hand, Carroll’s academic programs bene t from the ability
to stay up-to-date with the current trends, knowledge and skills that
a working relationship with local businesses allows. With the invaluable assistance of two local accounting businesses, Carroll launched a
Master in Accountancy program.
The Helena Brewers organization
has played a signi cant role in
the school’s Sports Management program, and the Humane Society has partnered with Carroll’s unique anthrozoology program. These are just a few examples of the way Carroll and Helena’s business community interact and share knowledge, to mutual bene t.
Wesley’s vision is for Helena’s business, government, and non- pro t communities to bring their needs and problems to the table,
share them with Carroll College’s bright, eager and talented students, and combine resources to solve their problems and address their needs.
He sees the college as preparing its students to be good citizens who think holistically and critically, capable
of identifying problems, analyzing them, and ultimately solving them.
A vital piece of Carroll College’s
aim is to teach students to be good stewards, respectful, well prepared, and professional. Wesley is eager to continue developing relationships with Helena’s business, government, and non-pro t community to provide more opportunities for Carroll’s students
to engage in hands-on learning and experience – if you would like to learn more about working with any of Carroll College’s academic programs to provide a valuable internship experience, please contact Wesley Feist directly.
