Work Ready Community group back to work on renewal A Kentucky Work Ready Community certification is a measure of a county's workforce quality. It is an assurance to business and industry that the community is committed to providing the highly-skilled workforce required in today's competitive global economy. By Linda Waggener For the past three years Adair County has enjoyed the status of being a certified Work Ready Community. That's important to anyone making grant applications in local organizations, and it's important to have that designation for attracting new employers to Columbia and Adair County. The state mandates that all communities are now to submit data for recertification. Ellen Zornes, Executive Director of the Columbia-Adair Chamber of Commerce, is meeting with committee members who will help gather information for renewed certification. The group in the first meeting on this project with her includes: Brenda Mann, Kenzie Rowe, Phil Hanna, Angela Cowan, Dr. Pamela Stephens, Robin Loy, Adair CJE Gale Cowan, Billy Joe Fudge, Lisa Gosser, Trish Parrish, and Mayor Pam Hoots. Dr. Stevens reminded the group that it's vital for every Adair County individual to complete the upcoming 2020 census to the best of their abilities. If you make sure you are counted and your household is represented, it can make the slight edge difference for Adair to get jobs and grants in the future. ACJE Cowan said, "The county is right on the threshold of going over 20,000 population now." Lisa Gosser, LCADD, provided in-depth directions for compiling new data, new criteria and how to proceed in order to apply by the August 2019 due date. A Kentucky Work Ready Community certification is a measure of a county's workforce quality. It is an assurance to business and industry that the community is committed to providing the highly-skilled workforce required in today's competitive global economy. Telling economic developers you have a skilled workforce is one thing, but earning Certified Kentucky Work Ready Community or Kentucky Work Ready Community in Progress status provides tangible evidence that your workers are skilled and the county is committed to keeping them skilled.
