students There are more than 150,000 college students in Greater Cincinnati, and we want them all to take a job here when they graduate! Hook them to your company now through Work-Based Learning Opportunities, ranging from in-class presentations to job shadowing to internships, apprenticeships, and part-time jobs while they continue their education. Not sure how to do it? NKY Works can help. Check out our Employers Guide to WBL: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/1727177386445-AR0V8S3VWTLRCYZQJSCO/Check+in+at+airport.png Resources for Employers - Immigrants Thousands of immigrants come to Greater Cincinnati legally each year as refugees, students, and through other legal visa statuses. Many more would like to come. Local companies are finding new and exciting ways to recruit, train, engage and retain our immigrant residents in their workforces. Reach out to NKY Works to learn more about their successes. Or check out this comprehensive list of resources below from Cincinnati Compass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/1729881019472-IUJIGC718FO7D74YYGAB/unsplash-image-NZVAQYODQTU.jpg Resources for Employers - In recovery from SUD The drug epidemic of the past two decades has left its mark on our workforce. As treatment and prevention resources have improved, thousands of people with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) are now in active recovery. Meaningful work is an important part of their recovery process. Many employers are finding these “second-chance” workers to be their most dedicated and loyal employees. You can, too. NKY Works can connect you with organizations that specialize in supporting workers with SUDs. Start by exploring resources available through the NKY Office of Drug Control Policies, linked below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/1730207245023-SREZTMSZLX9KZ7VP7ZWE/unsplash-image-eNyXK17so6A.jpg Resources for Employers - Unengaged Young residents There are about 6,000 people between the ages of 16-24 who are not in school and not working. Often called “opportunity youth,” their stories are as diverse as they are, but the bottom line is that they represent a great opportunity for employers. NKADD operates a program called Youth First to identify these individuals and to connect them to work and training opportunities. Talk to the Youth First team about your talent needs and learn more about how you can get involved. https://www.nkyworks.org/explore-careers-at-cvg daily 0.75 2026-01-20 https://www.nkyworks.org/gallery-4-1 daily 0.75 2025-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/b7aa1bb0-2d18-4831-b026-714bd4b44c6a/1.png CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT LOOKS LIKE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/8769273f-ae31-45c8-880d-99620ec7e8ce/2.png CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT LOOKS LIKE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/0baf6e76-1b7f-4a0b-a07b-7b36eaeb7e59/3.png CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT LOOKS LIKE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/ad137abe-bd79-4dc2-88a1-287ba4e1c808/4.png CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT LOOKS LIKE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/96a01a81-f165-48ac-9c6e-3ddba9684c67/5.png CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT LOOKS LIKE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/cc1f6217-d78f-4a21-b4ed-8d3f0538bba2/6.png CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT LOOKS LIKE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/12550e02-47a9-4c2f-8c70-b166e05a7c44/7.png CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT LOOKS LIKE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/ee0839fd-89f9-4231-9d02-4cd9552a86db/8.png CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT LOOKS LIKE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/b3172b67-d46b-4f1a-b96c-848be8ef13ae/9.png CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT LOOKS LIKE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/f2840c5b-b129-4a8e-a31d-eb66f95c3d96/10.png CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT LOOKS LIKE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY https://www.nkyworks.org/general-2-1 daily 0.75 2026-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/c7b4d8d6-dbda-45ac-8236-439a9b4305eb/NKADD_WorkforceDevelopment.png NKADD Business Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663135a248865a3e106afc98/a85bb53c-50a5-4f42-b8cd-0c6797b7cb17/Todd+Kyper3.png NKADD Business Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
