In addition to the hiring event, the Missouri Job Center will simultaneously host a Skill Up Information Fair, also from 3-6 p.m. Job seekers can visit with representatives in local higher education and trade schools to determine if they qualify for free training scholarships. The scholarships are for short-term training programs in industries that have high demand for skilled workers.
“We are excited to add the Skill Up Information Fair component to the hiring event,” said Jamie Moss, senior workforce specialist with the Missouri Job Center, in the release.
The short-term training is for health care, manufacturing, construction, information technology and transportation, which she said are all high-growth industries.
Those participating in the trainings could be working within weeks, Moss added.
Missouri State University’s science building, built in 1971 and formerly called Temple Hall, is being reconstructed and updated.
This is excellent. However, too bad this info did not get out earlier. Young job seekers don't buy newspapers or watch the evening news regularly. I just called a patient I saw earlier today, after seeing this email at lunch and she answered her phone and thanked me for the info. We know a number of people looking for a job and it would be nice to know this info earlier.
