The Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, the state’s premier business advocate, recently announced the formation of “Restart Kentucky,” an initiative designed to start the conversation on how to methodically and responsibly re-open Kentucky’s economy.
To assist in this important work, the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) will serve as Restart Kentucky’s official Workforce and Education Partner.
“The expertise that KCTCS brings to the table as industry leaders work through how to get back to business and prepare for the workforce challenges that will need to be met is invaluable,” said Kentucky Chamber President & CEO Ashli Watts.
“KCTCS is excited to partner with the Kentucky Chamber on the Restart Kentucky initiative,” said KCTCS President Jay K. Box. “Restart Kentucky is vital to creating a rapid economic recovery. As the number one provider of workforce training in Kentucky, a top priority for KCTCS is uniting the workforce needs of business with affordable career and technical education in communities all over the state.”
