Our clients are connected to the resources needed to fulfill self-sufficiency.  The end goal is always stable employment, but it often takes many steps to get there including Housing, GED/Education, Business Clothing, Transportation, Childcare, Mental Health Counseling, and Vocational Training.

Employment Connection is also a proud partner and supporter of the St. Louis ReCAST Project.  This initiative is working to promote community resilience in the St. Louis Promise Zone. Click here to learn more about their efforts.
