Focusing on the essential skills challenging our workforce, this conference will provide industry employers with information about the necessary resources to improve employee behaviors and morale.

Josh Davies, CEO of the Center for Work Ethic Development, will present the keynote address titled Giving Employers What They Want: Work Ethic and will deliver a breakout session on Work Ethic: Making Common Sense Become Common Practice.

The full day conference will also include a panel discussion on the State of the Workforce, breakout sessions, and a luncheon presentation.

The idea for the Revving up the Workforce conference came from the 2015 Kentucky Chamber report that stated 27% of Kentucky s Workforce challenge is that employers have trouble finding people with good soft skills. The conference topics address workforce ethics and essentials skills that are key to the future of your business, community, and region.
