What We Do

We amplify and align workforce-development initiatives across five focus areas, driving innovation and continuous improvement. Currently, our priority is expanding work-based learning (WBL) in Northern Kentucky. WBL connects students and young adults with employers, opening pathways for career exploration, skill-building, and long-term success.

 

 NKY Works functions by:

  • Convening business, government, and community partners to pinpoint and tackle workforce-development opportunities and challenges;

  • Communicating best practices to drive ongoing enhancement in the five focus areas;

  • Collaborating with stakeholders throughout the workforce ecosystem to promote alignment and a regional strategy for workforce development;

  • Connecting ideas to action, resulting in continuous advancement in the caliber and competencies of our regional workforce.

  • Considering gaps in the workforce development continuum of services and fostering resources to address the gaps.
