Partnering with Urban League

Ameren joins other area utilities and the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis to launch the C.A.R.E (Career Advancement & Readiness in Energy) pre-apprenticeship initiative.

In September, Ameren joined other area utilities and the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis to launch the C.A.R.E (Career Advancement & Readiness in Energy) pre-apprenticeship initiative as part of the Energy Jobs Program. This joint effort between the National Urban League and the Center for Energy Workforce Development aims to bridge the gap between job seekers in underrepresented populations and energy career opportunities. St. Louis is one of five inaugural cities for this initiative, which aims to train over 100 individuals through the C.A.R.E. Pre-Apprenticeship Program. The program focuses on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, providing educational tools and resources to prepare participants for careers in the energy industry, including roles such as line worker, gas technician and skilled laborer.
