Description
The Education and Labor Cabinet’s mission is to educate, prepare and train Kentucky’s current and future workforces. Our goal is to create and make continuous improvements to an education and workforce system that prepares Kentuckians for the 21st century workforce, while helping businesses find the skilled workers they need to compete and create jobs in the Commonwealth.
The Career Development Office provides workforce services to Kentuckians who are unemployed, under-employed, or searching for a new career path. We also provide a variety of services, such as assistance with unemployment insurance, business downsizing, labor market information, job postings, and recruiting and training.
This is a federally funded time-limited (FFTL) position. This means it is a position that is paid entirely as the result of a federal grant. The duration of employment shall not exceed the life of the federal grant that funds the position. An employee appointed to an FFTL position is required to meet the minimum requirements for the classification. Further, an employee appointed to an FFTL position is designated as an unclassified (non- mrit) employee. An FFTL employee is eligible to receive benefits at the same level as a classified (merit) employee in a permanent position.
Only Veterans will be considered due to funding requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
The Education and Labor Cabinet (ELC) also participates in E-Verify and will provide the federal government with your Form I-9 information to confirm that you are authorized to work in the U.S. ELC will only use E- Verify once you have accepted a job offer and completed the Form I-9.
