Eastern Kentucky meet the challenges and

seize the opportunities of today's economy.

A Job Club is a small group of jobseekers who

meet weekly with local workforce professionals to

from the workforce professionals and invited

guests. This combination of support,

networking, and job-search education

makes job club members much more

successful at getting a job than job

seekers who search alone.
