Workforce – we know it’s the number one issue driving economic development today.
When a business or organization is considering a new location, most often the number one question is whether the region has the talent needed to fill job openings.
With a labor market of up to 1 million-plus people, our region is home to a workforce that is both skilled and motivated. Influenced by an agricultural work ethic and the military veteran’s sense of duty, you will find a workforce second to none in its dedication to success and growth.
Our region is also well positioned to help find and develop the talent you need today and in the future. A robust network of workforce development professionals and education and training providers, including multiple colleges and universities, are ready to work with both existing and incoming organizations to ensure they find the right employees and develop the custom training programs that make their businesses more competitive.
Plus, Kentucky’s pro-business programs assist with the costs of developing your workforce.
KRDA can help you navigate such programs and put you in touch with the right workforce and economic development professionals.
