RETURN STRONG
In connection with Governor Mike Parson’s “Show Me Strong” recovery plan, the Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development launched its Return Strong campaign to help assist with economic recovery efforts from COVID-19.
The campaign’s focus is to help Missourians skill up and get back to work, and to safely and responsibly reopen Missouri’s public workforce system.
Missourians may be eligible to receive a training voucher for programs in health care, automotive, manufacturing, IT, truck driving, welding, & more.
Call (417) 629-3000 to speak with a Job Center representative for more info.
