Kentucky Career Center – Lincoln Trail invites job seekers and employers to two more job fairs happening this week.
The Hardin County Job Fair will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Tuesday at Severns Valley Baptist Church. The Breckinridge County Job and Resource Fair, which will be held in conjunction with Breckinridge County Economic Development and the Breckinridge County Chamber of Commerce, will run from 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday at the Breckinridge County Public Library in Hardinsburg.
“This is just another opportunity for job seekers to connect with employers and be able to talk with them about specific current open positions,” said KCC – Lincoln Trail Center Manager Robin Gooden. “Remember that we also ask employers when they come in that they do have current open positions available, and if possible that they are willing to do on-site interviews, so make sure you dress for success and you come willing to engage with employers about your next job opportunity.”
Businesses are asked to register ahead of the job fairs at www.ltcareercenter.org. Jobseekers do not need to register in advance. Just bring a hard copy of your resume.
Kentucky Career Center has a number of free resources and services available for potential job seekers.
“A lot of times people come into the center because they need new resumes, they haven’t written a resume in 20 years, and so we help them do that,” Gooden said. “We help them with mock interviewing. We help them get ready. We also have a list of open current positions that are available, so we give them those resources and also just kind of help them and guide them through their career planning.”

The upcoming closure of Interstate 65 in Louisville is now less than 100 days away, and Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Five says more traffic impacts are coming this week to prepare for construction and the planned detour route.
KYTC District Five says I-65 South will be reduced to one lane just south of the I-64/I-65/I-71 interchange from 7 p.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday, after which the highway will reopen to two lanes during daylight hours. Beginning Wednesday, I-65 will be reduced from two lanes to one lane south of the interchange each night through March 25. The I-65 South off ramp to East St. Catherine Street and the on ramp from South First Street will be closed from Wednesday until March 25.
The work will accommodate barrier wall placement, temporary striping, and new foundation installation ahead of construction of the new Kentucky Street/Brook Street bridge. Find more information on the work and upcoming detour at www.i65centralcorridor.com.
