A résumé doesn’t always tell the whole story. In our first What’s Working, Shannon Gottke of Ready. Set. Hire. shares how one simple question uncovered skills a young job seeker had never put on paper. Sometimes the right question changes everything.

Coming soon: What’s Working — a new video series featuring conversations with the people turning workforce programs into real results. We’ll be sharing the stories, ideas and experiences behind the work happening across our region in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

In observance of Labor Day, the South Central Workforce Development Board office and Kentucky Career Center locations will be closed Monday, September 7. We’ll reopen Tuesday, September 8, and look forward to serving you then. Wishing everyone a safe and restful Labor Day!
