St. Charles County Workforce & Business Development

In honor of National Apprenticeship Week, we're sharing success stories from apprenticeship programs with the Missouri Job Center of #StCharlesCounty. Learn more at sccmo.org/Workforce. ********** MM applied with a local company for a machine operator position. She had work experience of 18 months in retail and had been unemployed for 10 months. MM was referred to the Job Center by the employer as a possible registered apprentice; she completed enrollment and was recommended ...to the employer. MM was hired by the company as machine operator apprentice. She was mentored daily, provided occupational guidance, in-house training, and monitored closely by her supervisor. MM completed her apprenticeship successfully within 9 months due to the commitment of the employer. MM's work ethic, courage to ask for guidance and instruction, and willingness to learn made her an ideal apprentice. As her skills and abilities increased, her wage increased. She continues to learn and advance in the company. This employer was able to provide the in-house training with no financial or productivity strain, as they participated in the federal program for monthly wage reimbursement called On-the-Job Training. When pandemic restrictions are lifted, MM will be awarded her certificate from the Department of Labor Office of Registered Apprenticeship.
