State & Local
The City of Cape Girardeau's Cape Chronicle episode featured discussions on local community development initiatives, particularly focusing on the Catapult co-working space at Southeast Missouri State University (Simo). Catapult has evolved to include a Missouri Job Center on its first floor, providing workforce development services to both students and the wider community, including resume assistance, interview preparation, and access to funding for skill-building. The second floor houses Arsenal Business Growth, a St. Louis-based outsourced sales organization employing Simo students and alumni, offering valuable work experience and internships. The conversation emphasized the importance of skill-building, career preparation, and understanding modern hiring processes, including the use of AI in resume screening. Additionally, the Crisp Museum at the River Campus was highlighted for its rotating exhibits in art, regional history, and geology, offering free access and community engagement programs such as Lego Day and paint nights. These initiatives collectively support workforce development, community engagement, and educational enrichment in Cape Girardeau.
