UrbanForce is based at the SLATE Missouri Career Center and receives funding from the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). The Workforce Investment Act is the nation's principal workforce development legislation, and provides funds to address the employment and training needs of adults, dislocated workers and youth. SLATE's youth program is designed to create local systems that are closely linked to the labor market and that provide youth with a set of year-round, comprehensive service strategies.

UrbanForce contracts with the St. Louis area's agencies that provide services to youth ages 16-21. Our partner agencies place youth in various industries including Construction, Green Technology and Healthcare. Typically they begin recruiting youth late in the summer and are usually full by early fall.

WIA year-round Youth program consists of Job Readiness Training, Work Experience, and Future Employment Preparation.To enroll into WIA programs, youth need to meet eligibility requirements and be able to produce support documents. Please contact our vendors for more information:
