South Central Kentucky’s businesses are suffering. Over the past five years, we have worked diligently to ensure a fully functioning, high performing public workforce system is available to serve their needs. Through the work of the South Central Kentucky Workforce Development Board, we are beginning to see appropriate work take place in our region. We are working in partnership with the new administration to ensure the infrastructure to support a high performing public workforce system is in place. And we are working with our schools to provide our companies with the well-trained talent they need upon graduation and beyond.
