Ready to Work, "Making the Move from Welfare to Work"

The Kentucky Community and Technical College System helps Kentuckians on public assistance succeed in the workplace through the Ready to Work program.

A partnership between KCTCS and the Kentucky Cabinet for Families and Children, Ready to Work offers education and counseling to clients of the Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program (KTAP). The goal is to assist participants in making the transition to the workplace required by welfare reform.
