Mythbusting Workforce Services: Jen & Jaeclinn Set the Record Straight Part 2
Welcome back to the East Kentucky Works podcast! In this episode, we're tackling some common misconceptions about the Kentucky Career Centers. Many people still think of them as the old "unemployment office," but they've evolved into something much more. We're here to bust three major myths and show you how the KCCs are a powerful resource for everyone in Eastern Kentucky, no matter where you are in your career journey.
Myth #1: Kentucky Career Centers are just a depressing place to get a check.
Myth #2: If I have a job, even if I'm unhappy or underemployed, the KCC can't help me.
Myth #3: There are no good jobs in Eastern Kentucky; all the opportunities are elsewhere.
Don't let outdated ideas hold you back! The Kentucky Career Centers are modern, dynamic hubs of opportunity for everyone in Eastern Kentucky. We encourage you to visit a KCC near you and see for yourself how we can help you build the career and life you want, right here at home.
