SLATE Extends Support to Displaced Northview Village Nursing Home Workers through Emergency Hiring Fairs

The closure of Northview Village Nursing Home has left a void in our community, impacting both its residents and dedicated workers, especially during the holiday season. In response to this upheaval, the St. Louis Agency on Training and Employment (SLATE) is stepping in to provide crucial support to those affected.

"We are heartbroken around the abrupt closing of Northview Village Nursing Home because it has been a cornerstone in our community for many years. We are even more devastated for the residents and workers to be without jobs and residence right before the holiday season; however, as the employment and training entity for the City of St. Louis, SLATE stands ready to connect those dislocated workers to employment opportunities to ensure they can continue to provide for themselves and their families beyond this unfortunate incident," said Fredrecka McGlown, SLATE Executive Director. 

Emergency job fairs have been organized to assist these workers in transitioning to new career opportunities. These events are scheduled to take place on Friday, December 22, 2023, and Wednesday, December 27, 2023, from 9 am to 12 pm, located at 1520 Market St, 1st Floor Conference Room, St. Louis, MO 63103. Parking is available at the nearby Kiel Center Garage, with validated parking tickets upon presentation.

Confirmed employers participating in these fairs include A.O.S., Avalon Gardens, BJC, City of St. Louis Department Of Health, City of St. Louis Department Of Personnel, DelHaven, SLPS, Smiley Manor, UCity Forest Manor, and Union Manor, and with additional invites extended to other prospective employers.

In addition to these hiring events, SLATE offers comprehensive support through job search workshops, assessments, and training opportunities. The SLATE Missouri Job Center is situated at 1520 Market Street, 3rd Floor, Room 3050, operating from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, and Wednesdays from 9 am to 5 pm.
