KENTUCK Y’S WORKFORCE IS CHANGING KET answers the call with In Demand series

OR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, KET has helped Kentuckians prepare for the workforce. It began in 1975, with KET’s first GED® testprep system. And in 1999, KET unveiled Workplace Essential Skills, which teaches the soft skills that help employees excel. But even more is needed to address the workforce-readiness needs of a changing Kentucky. By the year 2020, it’s projected that 63 percent of Kentucky jobs will require at least some postsecondary education or training. In addition, Kentucky currently faces a shortage of skilled workers and falls below the national average in workplace participation. To highlight opportunities in the workplace, KET and the Kentucky Department of Workforce Investment have created In Demand, a collection of videos focusing on high-demand career sectors— manufacturing, construction, business & IT, logistics & transportation, and healthcare—in which there are currently thousands of job vacancies. The videos, along with more information, are available at KET.org/InDemand. KLH Engineers in Ft. Thomas is one of more than 60 companies featured in 2

the series. Robert Heil, KLH’s president and CEO, says, “The competition for talent is so keen right now that there’s a real shortage of skilled workers – electricians, plumbers and HVAC specialists.” In Demand provides a snapshot of what a career in one of Kentucky’s high-demand industries might look like, including education and experience needed to get these jobs, salary ranges, work environment, and the projected number of job openings over a five-year period.

• By the year 2020, it’s projected that 63 percent of Kentucky jobs will require at least some postsecondary education or training. • Some 84 percent of Kentucky businesses report having difficulty finding qualified candidates. • Kentucky has made strides in recent years but still has one of the nation’s lowest workforce participation rates.

“The level of information that KET is providing is fantastic – from salary scales and expectations to giving people a glimpse into what these industries are about,” Heil says. Kentucky’s high-demand job sectors are the centerpiece of KET’s updated Workplace Essential Skills series. In addition to the product going all-online, recent and upcoming updates include lessons that help students learn math and language arts important to each sector, as well as the soft skills important to any job. Beth Davisson, executive director of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Workforce Center, says a lack of soft skills is the number one workforce issue in Kentucky. “It’s the things like knowing how to shake a hand, looking a teacher in the eye, showing up on time and working well with other people as a team,” Davisson says. “If we can help make sure those essential skills are there at an early age, I think that’s something Kentucky can really lead on.”

KET IS A PROUD PARTNER OF

Kentucky’s workforce is indeed changing, bringing new challenges as more and more businesses struggle to find qualified workers. As a part of KET’s ongoing efforts, we’re excited to launch both In Demand and the newly updated Workplace Essential Skills. As Kentucky’s — and the nation’s — employment landscape continues to evolve, it’s essential that employers have the skilled workforce they require and prospective employees are prepared to be successful in the jobs of today and tomorrow. These new KET resources, with a focus on high-demand career sectors, are helping to meet these needs. We also believe preparing a skilled and educated workforce starts early — very early. Quality early education helps our youngest learners have the foundation to be successful students and adults. That is why the high-quality PBS KIDS programs and related resources offered by KET are so important. These programs, websites and apps provide a whole-child approach to learning that creates both immediate and long-term results. Together, these resources, along with the full range of KET educational services, will serve our state’s needs and help ensure Kentucky’s workforce keeps pace with a changing world. Sincerely,

Shae Hopkins

KET Executive Director and CEO

THE MAN WHO MADE A

NEIGHBORHOOD FOR KIDS

Fred Rogers’ legacy honored in award-winning documentary KET is proud to treat viewers to a one-night broadcast-only special presentation of the acclaimed Fred Rogers documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor? The documentary presents an intimate portrait of Rogers, whose series, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, spoke directly to young children in a simple, direct fashion, often about some of life’s weightiest issues. Appearing on numerous critics’ top-ten lists for 2018 and generating widespread Oscar buzz, Won’t You Be My Neighbor? earned more than $22 million at the domestic box office, making it the highest-grossing biographical documentary in history. The film goes beyond the puppets and zip-up cardigans to discover what drove Rogers to inspire generations of children with his message of kindness, honesty and compassion. It contains unprecedented access to Rogers’ archives in his hometown of Pittsburgh, containing hundreds of thousands of letters, films and photographs—much of which had been untouched for decades. 4

FE B R U A RY 2019

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? is made available courtesy of a partnership between PBS and HBO, which sought to honor Rogers’ contribution and commitment to public television.

Five aquanauts, including astronaut Scott Carpenter, took 15-day shifts aboard the vessel, pushing the limits of underwater exploration and advancing covert naval operations for decades to come.

Later this month, Gates continues his genealogical explorations with guests Seth Meyers, Sarah Silverman, Laura Linney and Michael Moore.

Explore the life and art of a uniquely gifted entertainer who strove for the American Dream in a time of racial prejudice and shifting political tides. A multifaceted veteran of show business traditions that were slowly going outdated, Davis frequently found himself flanked by the bigotry of white America on one side and the distaste of black America on the other. Features Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg and clips from his TV, film and concert performances.

Although he’s captivated by some of the great ports of the Mediterranean, Steves also points out the downsides of the cruising industry, such as the inevitable congestion and commercialism that comes with mass tourism.

Student safety in Kentucky schools Renee Shaw hosts a town hallstyle conversation with lawmakers, educators and students about new legislation addressing school safety in Kentucky public schools.

School Safety: A KET Forum KET Monday, Feb. 11 • 8/7 pm

Author discusses the promise of immunotherapy in fight against cancer Charles Graeber, best-selling author of The Good Nurse, speaks at the University of Louisville Kentucky Author Forum about his newest book, The Breakthrough: Immunotherapy and the Race to Cure Cancer. He is interviewed by Thomas Gajewski, professor of medicine and pathology at the University of Chicago. Graeber’s book details one of medicine’s most confounding mysteries: Why doesn’t our immune system recognize and fight cancer the way it does other diseases, like the common cold? As it turns out, the answer to that question can be traced to a series of tricks that cancer has developed to turn off normal immune responses — tricks that scientists have only recently discovered and learned to defeat. The result is what many are calling cancer’s “penicillin moment,” a revolutionary discovery in our understanding of cancer and how to beat it.
