Investing in our youth pays dividends, literally! ๐
Alongside our core workforce efforts, initiatives like Prosper Appalachia focus directly on empowering Eastern Kentuckyโs youthโconnecting local high school juniors and seniors to real-world career paths, work opportunities, and bright futures.
Our partner Community Action Agencies are the true "boots on the ground" driving workforce success across Eastern Kentucky. Operating directly out of local communities, their career navigators provide face-to-face mentorship, remove personal barriers to employment, and connect job seekers to life-changing career pathways
Through our Prosper Appalachia program, supporting early career success across Eastern Kentucky is creating massive long-term impact for our communities, workers, and regional economy.
When we give our young adults the opportunity to succeed, our entire region prospers.
