LEXINGTON, Ky. — The city announced a partnership to host a virtual job fair on June 17 for Fayette County Public Schools employees affected by recent layoffs, according to a statement from the Mayor’s Office.
WORK-Lexington, the city’s primary workforce initiative, said it is partnering with the Kentucky Career Center – Bluegrass/American Job Center for the event, scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17. Mayor Linda Gorton said in a statement that the virtual fair represents “an important opportunity to help our neighbors and friends who are struggling right now.”
The job fair comes as Fayette County Public Schools grapples with significant financial challenges. The district announced in May the elimination of 120 district-level support positions, spanning both hourly and salaried roles. The cuts include 49 hourly positions and 71 salaried roles, including 16 administrator positions, according to reporting on the school’s announcement. The layoffs stem from financial inaccuracies dating back to 2008 that the district revealed earlier this year.
Employers from across Kentucky will participate in the virtual event. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about available positions, engage with employers directly, and explore career opportunities matching their skills and experience. Interested participants must register in advance at www.ckycareers.com/fcps.
Gorton said WORK-Lexington “is designed to help people find jobs.” She added that the initiative connects job seekers “with the essential services, resources, and job opportunities they need to take their next steps” through partnerships with employers and state and local organizations.
WORK-Lexington offers free services to Lexington residents, including on-site assistance with job applications and resumes, job connections and placements, and program referrals. The initiative operates from the Davis Park Workforce Center at 501 De Roode Street.
