Registered Apprenticeship
Registered Apprenticeship is an alternative “earn while you learn” combination of training and employment. Apprentice workers gradually earn more as they reach higher levels of productivity. In addition to rewarding performance, a Registered Apprenticeship combines employer-driven, job-related instruction with extensive on-the-job learning under the supervision of a trade professional. After completing a Registered Apprenticeship, the apprentice receives a nationally-recognized occupational credential that communicates the standards and high level of training that their employer provides.
Career Club
A Virtual Work Experience
A virtual work experience with job placement after training, allowing participants to implement their newly developed skills.
The virtual work experience exists to help job seekers establish good work habits, personal management skills, increase career awareness, learn money management principles, and more, helping them be successful in both the workforce and life.
All you need is an internet connection and a computer.
Participants receive placement in a work experience at the end of the virtual training in a job that allows them to put their newly developed skills to use.

Additional youth work programs are sometimes available during the summer or other situations. It is always a good idea to contact a Missouri Job Center to find out what is currently available.
