Workforce

The Workforce Department at the Gateway Area Development District implements the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act (WIOA) for the TENCO area, which includes the counties of Bath, Boyd, Bracken, Fleming, Greenup, Lewis, Mason, Montgomery, Robertson, and Rowan. Department employees provide employment services to adults, youth, dislocated workers, and trade-affected workers at One-Stop Career Centers and affiliate sites located within these counties.

The Career Centers are strategically located in Ashland, Maysville, Mount Sterling, and Morehead. The staff at these centers offers a wide range of services, from basic employment assistance to intensive career planning and assessment, training opportunities, and job placement. This comprehensive support ensures that the needs of both job seekers and employers are effectively met across the TENCO region.
