Where Opportunity Knox is a fantastic program that helps Veterans transition into the area. It helps align them with the needs that are out there in the business community and it is one-stop shop where employers can go.Dean Hohl, VP of Operations, Samtec and Army Veteran

This region is taking strides to make sure that those job opportunities are there, the educational opportunities are there and the environmental opportunities are there for Veterans to really thrive, work and grow here.Rene Brown, Humana and Army Veteran
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
