Jeff Hoover talks with B.J. Wilkerson from the Lake Cumberland Area Development District and the Kentucky Career Center for the Cumberland region. They discuss the “Putting Young Kentuckians to Work” program, which helps 16- to 24-year-olds gain training, job experience, and career opportunities across 13 counties. B.J. explains how the program connects young people with employers, funds paid work experiences, and provides short-term training for high-demand jobs — all aimed at getting more young Kentuckians into the workforce.
