Launched in January 2017, and the first in the nation, the Kentucky Chamber Workforce Center works to build a workforce based on the needs of Business. The Kentucky Chamber believes that as we build a thriving and strong workforce, the needs of the economy should be front and center.
A 21-member board of managers comprising representatives of Kentucky’s employment sectors and geographic regions guides the Center’s work, which is focused on three core programs:
Kentucky's Talent Pipeline
Giving employers a way to work together, define the skills they need, and measure the results of workforce efforts. This includes creating a talent pipeline that ensures that the right talent is available for the right jobs.
Workforce Recovery Program
Kentucky’s business community has become acutely aware in recent years that the state’s addiction epidemic is more than a public health issue, it is also a serious workforce issue. Our team is working to help Kentucky employers reduce stigma and create recovery-friendly workplaces.
Bus to Business®
Bus to Business® is a statewide initiative focused on connecting students with employers. The goal of the program is to show students what career pathways are in their own communities.
