Collaboration and partnerships are key themes in Kentucky’s Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act State Plan, and the Education
and Workforce Collaborative (“Collaborative”) is the platform for aligning workforce priorities.
Initiated in 2020 through the
Governor's Executive Order 2020-551, the Collaborative brings education and workforce development system partners together in one group, allowing resources to be efficiently and effectively aligned for the improvement of the workforce development system. The 19-member Collaborative is made up of executive Cabinet leadership, education leaders from the primary and post-secondary levels, the state chamber of commerce, federal workforce training providers, local workforce boards, elected officials, and the state workforce board chair.
In person attendance located at 500 Mero Street, Frankfort, Kentucky, 40601*. Please contact
