The nation's largest online Career Development System. It Works! Currently there are four components of the Career Kit that effectively encompasses all aspects of career development. Built into all the components is O*NET, an occupational database with descriptions and skill sets for specific occupations. Employers will find this section useful to help develop and write job descriptions for your open positions.
The CEBB allows employers to find out about local and statewide Job Fairs and other employment related events. Your open positions can be listed here as well as your company profile. The Kentucky Employer
Council and the Local Job Service Employer Committees (JSEC) are
employer committees whose input enables the Department for
Employment Services to provide the highest quality service possible
to employers and job seekers alike.
If you are interested in participating or would just like to find
out more about these committees you may contact Corline Schnitzen by
telephone at 502-564-7456 or by email to: Corline.Schnitzen@mail.state.ky.us
