Employment Services 

The Urban League’s Employment Services Department provides free job skills training, employment referral and career fairs to local residents.

The Urban League hosts job fairs that reach over 5,000 per year. The fairs promote jobs from nearly 100 St. Louis area employers and has been sponsored by Emerson, the Regional Business Council, U.S. Bank, Citi, Home State Health Care, the Salvation Army, SLATE and America’s Job Center of St. Louis County.
The Employment Program is designed to:
  • Provide low-to-moderate income clients with comprehensive counseling and guidance to enable them to secure full or part-time jobs in the St. Louis metropolitan area
  • Place clients in jobs from laborer to professional.
Our Services:
  • Interviewing skills
  • Resume preparation
  • Computer access for online job searches and application
  • Job search assistance
  • Career counseling
  • Job-readiness training
  • Job referrals
  • Job development
  • Job placement
  • Case management
  • Post-placement follow-up

Why provide Employment services?
​Living wage employment remains a key element of the holistic approach of helping clients achieve economic self-sufficiency. 
Finding desirable employment provides a vital “ladder out of poverty" for African Americans and others trapped in poverty. In the St. Louis metropolitan region, the unemployment rate for African Americans is over two times higher than the white community.

Statistics show that the one of the largest barriers to African American employment is not a lack of job skills, but rather a lack of soft skills (interviewing, resume writing, etc.) that are necessary to find desirable full or part-time employment. From its founding in 1918, the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis has focused on ending discrimination, especially in the area of employment.
