Congratulations James Elliott!
It's a rare occasion to spot James Elliott, MERS/Goodwill Case Manager and Employment Specialist, without a smile on his face. Recently awarded as MERS/Goodwill's top placement person in the 61 bi-state offices for the past four years, he has lots to smile about.
"James is the epitome of a model employee," said Dr. Lewis Chartock, MERS/Goodwill President and CEO.

We are proud of James' accomplishments and excited to see his continued support of our organization."

Roosevelt High School Graduates
Take Future Success Seriously
While many high school graduates are enjoying the summer with trips to the lake, parties and days out in the sun, a very special group of Roosevelt High School graduates are working towards a brighter future. The MERS/Goodwill WIA Youth Program provides young adults with work experience, group education, job development, placement services and helps them to craft appropriate vocational goals. The initiative with Roosevelt, made possible by a close partnership between MERS/Goodwill, SLATE, and the St. Louis Public Schools, has resulted in 94 of Roosevelt's 2012 graduating class receiving WIA services.
The WIA Youth Program, funded by the St. Louis Agency on Training and Employment (SLATE), was developed for youth 17-21. The program gives individual attention to each youth, providing the trust and support needed to succeed. This is the first year that WIA has partnered with the Office of the License Collector. Through MERS/Goodwill and the Office of the License Collector, students in the WIA Youth Program are working with the City of St. Louis to gather experience and knowledge for their future careers.
