Why is this important to you and your business?
 
This is important to your business because you cannot separate the economic development of Saint Louis County from the development of a qualified workforce.
 
Under the leadership of the Workforce Investment Board, the Missouri Career Center - Saint Louis County has been the premiere link between economic development and workforce development in Saint Louis County. As part of a national network of workforce development professionals our mission has remained the same, "to serve as a partnership between Saint Louis County residents and businesses in supporting the St. Louis metropolitan area's economic development with a qualified workforce."

Are there any new services that can increase my bottom line?
 
YES. In an effort to enhance the link between economic development and workforce development, the Missouri Career Center - Saint Louis County has created a Business Service Center staffed by the Business Service Group. They will work with you to address your current and projected workforce needs. We will look at your business both in terms of employment opportunities and skill sets in order to match them with qualified job-seekers.

"We had a wonderful experience working with the Missouri Career Center in Saint Louis County. Because of the response to our mass hire was so successful, we had the opportunity to refer qualified candidates to other stores throughout Saint Louis County."
