FOR IMMEADIATE RELEASE:

Community members gathered with the Kentucky Career Center – TENCO, Mt. Sterling-Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce, and the Gateway Area Development District for the ribbon cutting for the new KCC – Mt. Sterling Access Point location.

“We are successful in this community only because of the partnerships we build through lifting each other up in every opportunity that we get, and this is just another example of that,” said Al Botts, Mayor of Mt. Sterling. “This location will provide more access for individuals who are looking to get a good job or those who need additional training to fulfill their career dreams.”

“We are so appreciative of the teamwork of the staff, the partnerships, and all that has been done to make this move happen,” added Chris Haddix, County Judge Executive. “When you have partnerships like that and you are serving people, that’s what it’s about.”

The Mt. Sterling Access Point is now located within the Montgomery County Health & Civic Center. This office serves as a hub for job seekers and employers, job search assistance, resume writing help, and resources for community members.

“Today is a celebration of progress and opportunity,” said Brittany Layne, TENCO Director of Career Center Operations. “The TENCO Workforce Development Board works to ensure services through the Kentucky Career Center are available and accessible to all. The Mt. Sterling Access Point is here to empower our local workforce and support the people of this community.”

The KCC – Mt Sterling Access Point is open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM, at 108 East Locust Street.
