Exciting progress is happening as we continue to connect Eastern Kentucky talent to high-demand energy careers!
This week, our team met with Westinghouse to explore new opportunities for Eastern Kentucky’s energy workforce. We shared with them about how the Eastern Kentucky Talent Network is helping people across the region upskill, train, and land great jobs in growing fields.
Since June, more than 70 individuals have already received job offers through their memberships with us, and we’re just getting started.
