• Access to and increased familiarity with computers

Eligibility:

The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis provides low-income adults, 18 years of age or older, who have completed high school or a GED with training designed to increase their computer skills. Participants must be able to type minimally upon beginning the program.

The Business Training Center is funded through grants from Emerson, AT&T, Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity and the United Way.
