Job Point

Program Overview

Job Point is Mid-Missouri's premier employment center. We specialize in preparing individuals who are low-income to enter the workforce, while meeting a critical need of the business community. We train individuals to meet the diverse employment needs of local business and industry. The curricula utilized for trades leads to a nationally and industry-recognized portable credential. Once trades students complete the safety portion of classroom training, they and office students may participate in a paid internship, at minimum wage.

Through our students' on-the-job training, new affordable homes are made available for sale to income-eligible buyers, and the City's roads and bridges are repaired. The Certified Nursing Assistant program follows MO Dept of Health & Senior Services curriculum. The course includes 100 state-required, unpaid, supervised clinical hours, and prepares students for State certification tests.

To meet employment expectations, some of our programs require a high school diploma/equivalent or 8th grade reading/math levels. Therefore, tutoring and preparation for the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) are also provided.
