Vocational Training

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Thursday visited Clyde Miller Career Academy in St. Louis, which offers training in hospitality, manufacturing and other fields besides preparing students for college. The governor said he'd like to see more of Missouri's high schools offer career training to help fill the state's nearly 150,000 open jobs.

The city bought the 100,000 square-foot facility last June to establish the center which will offer programs in welding, carpentry, construction and many other trades.
