At the Kentucky Career Center – Lincoln Trail, we know the value of veteran talent. Our staff – which includes Local Veterans Employment Representatives, Disabled and Veterans Outreach Program Specialists and several other veterans – is here to connect you to opportunities in the civilian workforce. At our career centers, veterans receive no-cost priority service to help with the transition to post-military careers.
