The services listed below relate to both the employer and the job
and service seeker.
The Job Bank provides a single point of contact for employers
who have job listings they wish to post. It also offers several convenient
methods for that contact:
Experienced and professional staff will enter your job opening
specifications, including requirements and qualifications, into an automated
computer system that will make your job posting available immediately to all of
our locations. The job posting is also made available statewide through
our Internet site on Kentucky’s Job Bank and
nationally on America’s Job
Bank. This ensures that your job openings receive maximum exposure to job
seekers locally, statewide and nationally.
When you list your job opening with the Office of Employment and Training
Job Bank, you are making your position available through the largest and most
widely recognized labor exchange systems available to job seekers and employers
today!
Assistance can be provided to employers in the initial start-up of a new
company, company expansions, seasonal hiring, or just to fill vacant positions
as they occur. We can provide assistance in recruitment, testing, taking and
screening applications and resumes. Local OET staff will go on site to an
employer’s place of business or provide space in any of our offices for
application taking, interviewing and testing. If you are an employer in need of
this type of assistance contact the local
Office of Employment and Training Office in
your area.

The Enterprise Zone program provides a
substantial tax credit to businesses that locate or expand their operations in
areas designated as state Enterprise Zones. To receive the tax credits, the
employer must hire a percentage of new employees from certain groups of job
seekers. OET helps such employers meet their obligations to hire from
these targeted groups by referring eligible job seekers to the employer for job
openings listed with OET. Additionally OET is responsible for conducting
employer orientations as well as certifying employees eligibility.
