MISSOULA- Montana Senator Jon Tester is in Missoula to play host to a small business opportunity workshop for women.

The workshop is focusing on helping Montana women get a jump-start on opening their own small businesses and creating jobs.

Tester's workshop is free and open to the public at the University Theater on the University of Montana campus and runs until 12:15 p.m.

"With this technology, folks who can't make it in person will be able to watch online and hopefully learn a few things about creating jobs and strengthening their businesses," Tester said. "It allows us to shorten the distances across Montana, allowing people from all over the state to benefit," Tester said in a prepared statement.

Tuesday's event is also being broadcast live on Tester's website.
