St. Louis Agency on Training and Employment (SLATE) Celebrates 50 Years of Service to the St. Louis Community

The St. Louis Agency on Training and Employment (SLATE) announces the year-long celebration of its 50th anniversary in 2025. For half a century, SLATE has been prominent in the St. Louis community helping unemployed and underemployed St. Louisans connect to job opportunities and helping employers recruit and retain skilled workers.

In celebration, SLATE will unveil a new brand identity that reflects the organization’s future strategic direction, mission, and goals in the first quarter and will execute several promotional and informational initiatives throughout the year. SLATE will also host quarterly job fairs, networking events, resource fairs, and other community events to mark this milestone.

“For fifty years, SLATE has helped to transform the economic landscape of our city by connecting residents with employment opportunities,” said Mayor Tishaura O. Jones. “The dignity of gainful employment cannot be overstated, and I’m looking forward to the next fifty years of partnership and collaboration that will continue to help connect employers to job seekers in the City of St. Louis.”

“As we head into our next 50 years of service to the community, we will continue to keep our fingers on the pulse of what the community needs to thrive. Our dedicated team of change agents will continue to go above and beyond to ensure that all St. Louis residents have the employment and training tools needed to be competitive in today and tomorrow’s workforce.” said SLATE Executive Director, Fredrecka McGlown.
