Local health care facilities are joining up with the state Department of Labor and Industries to try to fill a workforce shortage using the model of apprenticeship to train workers.

A press release from Labor and Industry said Liberty Medical Center, HealthCARE Montana and the agency have been working over the last year to launch new programs in north-central Montana communities including Chester, Harlem and Rocky Boy.

Liberty Medical Center has committed to apprenticeships for medication aide II, restorative aides and medical assistants.
