Governor Beshear created the Education and Labor Cabinet, merging the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet and the Labor Cabinet in November of 2021. These agencies work together to give citizens an opportunity to experience transformational change by obtaining a great education and quality training that can lead to a meaningful career and greater prosperity for their families. The merger resulted in a more robust cabinet to give the state an opportunity for cross-training employees, and adding resiliency, while ensuring efforts are not duplicated. Combining these two cabinets has allowed the state to develop a comprehensive workforce development strategy to meet the needs of many economic development projects and better compete for federal funds.
