SLATE and Ruth's Chris Present 1st Annual Workforce Youth Leadership Awards

Ruth’s Chris Steak House helped sponsor a magical afternoon for 15 St. Louis area city youths who were recently honored Β by the St. Louis Agency on Training and Employment (SLATE) for their hard work and persistence at the 1st Annual Workforce Youth Leadership Awards. Each student was paired with a top business and civic leader at the lunch which also included an etiquette workshop conducted by Ruth’s Chris. β€œLeadership development is a core component of the Workforce Investment Act which encourages responsibility, community engagement and teamwork for tomorrow’s workforce,” said Michael K. Holmes, executive director for SLATE. β€œWe are very grateful to Ruth’s Chris and all of our event partners who have made our first awards program such a success.”
