Speaking the Language

St. Louis is positioning job seekers for global opportunities

MIssouri became the 28th state to approve the Seal of Biliteraracy Program, and St. Louis is increasingly positioned to help satisfy those language needs in several ways, through traditional education, community programs and opportunities to learn from a growing foreign-born population.
