I am extremely impressed with how Where Opportunity Knox has been able to rapidly and readily connect me with business and community leaders who are eager to assist me with my employment search. Additionally, everyone is both helpful and very hospitable: They make the extra effort to network me with others and keep me informed of opportunities that may not be discovered through the traditional channels which is invaluable as I attempt to get established in another career in my hometown.Ed Gallrein, retired Navy SEAL Captain

Where Opportunity Knox is a great initiative. I think that it will help connect Veterans to civilian employers because they are that bridge, that link between the two.Sarah Holley, Kroger and Army Veteran

Where Opportunity Knox is a great initiative. I think that it will help connect Veterans to civilian employers because they are that bridge, that link between the two.Erin Mires, Air Force Veteran

Often Veterans and their spouses are well-suited for these positions but they lack personal connections and a professional civilian network to alert them to these opportunities. By establishing and enlisting Veteran Network Builders from throughout our community, we hope to assist Veterans and their spouses as they start to build their civilian networks and relationships, connecting them with influencers and decision-makers in the business community.Eileen Pickett, Economic Development Advisor to Where Opportunity Knox

Many people don’t find their next career opportunity on a website or job board but instead through personal connections and networking. This program is a great way to help Veterans bridge that gap and better integrate into the community.Scott Kiefer, Partner and Vice President at The Oliver Group and a Veteran Network Builder

We are honored and thrilled to help transitioning Veterans back into the workforce through this collaborative initiative. Where Opportunity Knox is a significant resource for all Veterans seeking job opportunities in the Greater Louisville Region and we look forward to working with them and participating companies moving forward.Beth Avey, Executive Director of the Kentucky Indiana Exchange
