“As families prepare for the holidays, many are also looking for new opportunities and a fresh start,” said Connie Johnson, executive director of the SLATE Missouri Job Center. “Our hiring fairs make that possible by connecting people directly with employers who are ready to hire. These events help strengthen our community, support local businesses and ensure more St. Louis families enter the season with stability and hope.”
SLATE also offers free weekly workshops on resume writing, interview preparation and job search strategies.
