Last fall, Nicki joined Metals Innovation Initiative at the Kentucky Industry Conference for a discussion about building a strong manufacturing workforce in Kentucky - a topic closely aligned with our mission. Building talent pathways that open doors for highly skilled individuals to enter key industries like manufacturing is a win-win. Kentucky industries become more competitive and talented populations — including veterans — find fulfilling careers in the commonwealth.
At the inaugural Kentucky Industry Conference, MI2 led a discussion on Talent Pathways into Manufacturing, showcasing collaboration as the key to building a stronger workforce. The session tackled strategies to develop and sustain talent pipelines essential for Kentucky's manufacturing success. Panelists included: Brian Becker – South Central Workforce Development Board Dorian Moe – Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Foundation Nicki Stewart – KY VALOR MI2 emphasized the commitment to workforce innovation, aligning manufacturing talent with Kentucky’s economic growth goals.

We reached a huge milestone last week: 100 service members placed in jobs with Kentucky employers! 🎉 Each one of these newly employed individuals received personal support from our small but mighty team in landing a job based on their career preferences, previous experience and unique interests. And we’re just getting started. With more than 1,500 service members in our pipeline, we’re ready to surpass even more milestones in 2025.
