A Community that Works Together

Community is a powerful word. It is also a word that Hopkins County, Kentucky takes very seriously. Community becomes even more powerful when it includes all the key players.  When all members of the community pull together for a united cause, the power becomes unlimited. The change, or transformation, that occurs from the entire community is something greater than just what a small group of the community or an individual can achieve. We are proud that the City of Madisonville  and Hopkins County  both work together with the Madisonville Hopkins County Economic Development Corporation to make it stronger and therefore more successful. 

Kentucky Work Ready Communities

A Kentucky Work Ready Community certification is a measure of a county's workforce quality. It is an assurance to business and industry that the community is committed to providing the highly-skilled workforce required in today's competitive global economy. Through this effort, Kentucky communities can assess their own workforce strengths and follow a process to become certified as Work Ready or Work Ready in Progress.

The Kentucky Work Ready Community program has the ability to transform a community. It encourages counties to take a credible inventory of the current and future workforce, identify the gaps and carry out strategies to achieve a more knowledgeable, trained workforce.
