ST. LOUIS — Job openings, hiring events and several opportunities for young people in the St. Louis area top this week's Career Central roundup.
SLATE staying open late to distribute free Metro passes
The St. Louis Agency on Training and Employment (SLATE) is accepting applications for the Gateway Go Youth Transit program.
And it’s staying open late to help get Metro passes into the hands of those who need them.
From April 25-27, SLATE will remain open until 7 p.m. to support families who are unable to visit during typical office hours.
SLATE is located at 1520 Market Street on the third floor in room 3050 in downtown St. Louis.
Those interested will need to pre-register here.
Once you’ve applied and had your eligibility confirmed, you’re advised to pick up your passes right away. They’re being given out on a first-come first-serve basis.
Funded through the American Rescue Plan Act, the program offers free transit for 3,000 city youth ages 13-25 through the rest of 2022.
Previously, passes only ran through the summer months.
