Missouri Colleges and Universities: Career Training Programs

Published: November, 2010

Missouri is home to 29 Fortune 500 companies, many of them located in St. Louis or Kansas City. These large, profitable companies have lots of economic clout in Missouri, which depends on healthy business relationships in a variety of industries. Among the state's top businesses are:
  • Electronics giant Emerson Electric, in St. Louis
  • Healthcare business Express Scripts, in Maryland Heights
  • Anheuser-Busch brewery, in St. Louis
  • Chemicals company Monsanto, in St. Louis

Most of Missouri's workforce of 2.9 million is employed in the trade, transportation, and utilities industry, although a number of other sectors also boast high employment numbers. Professional and business services, educational and health services, and manufacturing are all essential to Missouri's healthy statewide economy.

Missouri job applicants might choose to get an education in healthcare, which is expected to grow statewide on a par with national averages. In Kansas City, Missouri massage therapists earn anywhere from $35,400 to $53,600, depending on education and experience. While no career training program can guarantee a particular salary, Missouri residents may appreciate the benefits of education in highly competitive fields, or those that require specific employee certifications.
