It’s turnover season as the Beshear administration heads into its second term after a challenging four years including a pandemic, record-setting natural disasters, and fast-paced changes across many sectors.
Among some of the top positions opening are the director of emergency management, commissioner of workforce development, and a new commissioner of the department of juvenile justice — all likely to tackle complex problems in the years ahead.
"In all these areas we've had people that have done great jobs and we are grateful for their service," Gov. Andy Beshear said during his Thursday Team Kentucky update. "This is the time when you see people looking, reevaluating where they want to be, where they want to go. The opportunity to keep so much experience, which you're going to see us keep a significant portion of our experience, but also add new excitement, those that want to come in at this really special time to state government."
The list of openings is long enough that the state has set up a specific site for those interested. It’s at JoinTeamKY.ky.gov and allows potential applicants to search available jobs, salary schedules, and job class specifications.
