IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Office of Employment and Training is closed Friday, September 3, in observance of a statewide furlough day - a budget balancing measure. Office hours are 8:00 am-4:30 pm Monday-Thursday, closed Friday. OET will also be closed on Monday, September 6, in observance of Labor Day.
NOTICE:  Important information about the Federal Unemployment Extension Bill

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: As a result of the recent announcement of the state furlough plan, the Office of Employment and Training would like to share the following information:

It is anticipated that state employees on furlough will not qualify for unemployment benefits for the following reasons:

  • All wages earned will be considered during the week in which the furlough day occurs; and
  • Wages earned will be deducted $.80 for every $1 earned from any benefit amount, most likely preventing you from being eligible.

Additional information will be posted on this site as it becomes available.
The Kentucky Office of Employment and Training (OET) is part of the Department of Workforce Investment.  OET Staff provide job services, unemployment insurance services, Labor Market Information, and training opportunities.
  • ARRA - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act- Kentucky received Recovery Act funds from the U. S. Department of Labor to assist citizens with workforce issues. For information about Recovery Act services, by county, click here.
  • Job Services match available workers with employers who need their skills and experience. Work search and referrals may be conducted locally, statewide and nationally.
  • Unemployment Insurance provides short term benefits for those who are unemployed through no fault of their own.
  • Labor Market Information contains a wide range of statistical data on employment and wage patterns. It is available locally, statewide and nationally to both businesses and job seekers.
  • Training opportunities are available through the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) for Adult Dislocated Worker and Youth who meet certain eligibility criteria.
