The West Kentucky Worforce Board serves the seventeen counties of the Penny/Purchase areas to provide policy development and coordination for workforce development in support of economic development for the region.

The   mission   of   the   WKWB is to provide an integrated system of quality employment information  and  training services to businesses and individuals through staffing/technology utilizing accessible service sites.

The WKWB serves as a liaison between employers in the business, industry, and public  sector and individuals in order to make workforce needs known.  The  WKWB also promotes and provides tactics to motivate individuals to continue their education and improve their work skills.  It is also our  intent to encourage and assist in the development of new training programs to benefit the region’s workforce.  We conduct planning, oversight, and analysis of local workforce development programs through the local Career Centers.  We strive to promote the region’s availability of qualified workers by matching efforts and activities with economic development goals.

The West Kentucky Workforce Board governs the local Kentucky Career Center System in the Purchase and Pennyrile counties of Kentucky.  Serving as the fiscal agent for the WKWB, the Pennyrile Area Development District is involved in the program administration, oversight and service delivery of Department of Labor initiatives throughout the service area.
