Sen. Keaveny Joins Governor to Announce
Job Opportunities for Young Missourians

JEFFERSON CITY — Today (10-30), Sen. Joseph Keaveny, D-St. Louis, will stand with the governor at 1 p.m. at the MET Center in Wellston to show his support of the governor’s efforts to improve job and career opportunities for young Missourians in low-income communities.

“The MET Center is a great place that does so much for many people seeking employment and training for those jobs they so badly want,” Sen. Keaveny said. “The announcement of more opportunities is great and we are all excited to see what it can do for job placement for low-income individuals in our area.”

The MET (Metropolitan Educational and Training) Center is a strategic partnership created to stimulate the economic self-sufficiency of individuals living in low to moderate income communities of the St. Louis region. The Center seeks to accomplish this mission by delivering focused, comprehensive, and accessible job training, placement, assessment, career development and transportation services. It serves the underemployed, unemployed, and displaced workers, leading to sustainable work and a competitive regional economy.

“I look forward to what this program will allow these citizens to do and where their future will take them,” Sen. Keaveny said.
