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. 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! The Office of Employment and Training (OET) has the largest and most diverse computer-based applicant pool in the area. Annually, there are over 300,000 Job and Service Seekers statewide who register with OET. They are individuals who possess a variety of work experiences, skills, and educational backgrounds. From high school graduates to PhD's; unskilled laborers to highly skilled, professional, managerial and technical. These are individuals who are employed but are seeking a career change, those that are under-employed, those who wish to relocate and the unemployed who have lost their jobs due to downsizing and the effects of supply and demand. Locally, the OET offices serve Fort Campbell and Caldwell, Christian, Lyon, Todd and Trigg counties providing services to over 10,000 Job and Service Seekers annually. An employer who has job openings listed with our agency will be able to take advantage of this large applicant resource. In
today’s tight labor market it only makes good business sense to
access every available resource. Why wait, contact us today at 270-889-6509
or fill out a
on-line job order form to post all of your job openings. Employer Services Representatives Carolyn
Balthrop acts as liaison between the employer and the Hopkinsville

information pertaining to tax credits, labor market information,
testing, employee recruiting, setting up a special interviewing
process or guiding an employer through the maze of Internet resources
now available. If you would like Ms. Balthrop to visit your company
or provide information and materials, please contact her at
270-889-6509 ext. 231 or email to: Carolyn.Balthrop@ky.gov Recruitment and Mass Application Assistance

Federal Contract Listings (FCJL) All employers who have contracts (or subcontracts) with the Federal Government of $25,000 or more are required by federal law to list their job openings with the state employment agency in the state where the job openings exist. These employers are required to use affirmative action in hiring certain veterans to fill those job openings and must file an annual report with Veterans Employment and Training Services (VETS) showing the number of Vietnam-era and special disabled veterans on their work force. If you are an employer with a federal contract, the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training (OET) will assist you with meeting your recruitment requirements of the Federal Contractor Job Listing. Because OET is responsible for administering the Veteran’s Employment and Training Program, veterans automatically receive priority in referral on all job openings. As an employer you will greatly benefit from hiring hard working, disciplined, job-ready veterans who bring valuable skills and experience in the latest technology to industries and businesses like yours each day. You may list your openings on-line or call the Job Bank at 270-889-6509 to post job openings for Christian and the surrounding counties. Want to save time and money? The Wage Subsidy Program administered by the Office of Employment and Training can do both! If you would like more information about this program in Caldwell, Christian, Lyon, Todd and Trigg counties please contact Lisa Lewis or call her at 270-889-6509 ext. 246.

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.
