In partnership with our Missouri Career Center and the Jefferson/Franklin Counties Workforce Investment Board ECC offers services to youth in our area via the Workforce Investment Act.  The purpose is to provide employment and training services for youth.

• Individual assessments to determine vocational, educational, occupational, literacy and life skills.
• Classroom training to include high school equivalency (G.E.D.), occupational skills training (vocational school or college).
• Work experience at public not-for-profit worksites to develop basic job skills. Program pays minimum wage for up to 40 hours per week.
