RiverWorks Discovery partnered with the Kentucky Chamber Workforce Center April 14 to host a first-of-its-kind Who Works The Rivers online career education event. The free event was open to students and RiverWorks Discovery supporters alike, in Kentucky and beyond.
Using an online platform from Covington, Ky.-based IT company ULIMI, Who Works The Rivers leaders were able to share an overview of the maritime industry, the ways in which the industry impacts the day-to-day lives of students, career paths available to students and some strategies for interviewing and pursuing jobs in the field.
In addition to logging in to the ULIMI platform, participants could also stream the virtual Who Works The Rivers via Facebook. Anyone interested may view the presentations on the Kentucky Chamber Workforce Center Facebook page and the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce YouTube channel.
