Missouri Has Hard Working, Highly Skilled & Available Talent

  • November 12, 2018

If you are looking for hard working, highly skilled and available talent – look no farther than Missouri’s trained workforce.

With more than 3 million educated workers, Missouri’s talent pool is deep, specialized and experienced in our state’s key growth areas including advanced manufacturing, agtech and logistics. And Missouri is home to top-flight universities such as the University of Missouri – Columbia, Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla and many more.

In Missouri, we understand that an educated and trained workforce is essential to success. As a result, Missouri offers traditional and non-traditional training options for workers and companies that allow employers to recruit a workforce that is customized to fit their needs.

And Missouri doubled down on that ability to produce trained talent recently with the ground breaking for Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 562 union’s 79,000 sq. ft. training facility in Earth City, Missouri. The training center for the union’s 4,500 members and 400 apprentices will have 50 welding booths and multiple technology-equipped classrooms for continuing education classes.

Our trained and skilled workforce is creative and innovative with a strong pro-business work ethic, a deep and educated agricultural heritage, and a strong financial and technology acumen. And our colleges specialize in training our workforce for medical research, cyber security, financial services, plant science and more.

Home to more than 50 certified work ready communities, Missouri employees are hard working, conscientious, engage in workforce training opportunities and have a proven ability to adjust to technology and workforce evolution.
