No, Kentucky Career Center is not part of the Kentucky Unemployment system. Click the link below for information about filing for unemployment.
The Kentucky Career Center screens applicants by comparing the minimum requirements of the job opening as established by the employer to the qualifications of job seekers who have registered for work. KCC staff utilize an automated system to assist in the screening process to identify qualified individuals to refer to the employer.
Unemployment Insurance (UI) recipients are required to be able and available for and to seek and accept offers of "suitable employment." They are not required to accept jobs that are significantly different in pay or job duties from that to which they are accustomed. However, the definition of "suitable employment" is tenuous and changes as the duration of one’s unemployment stretches out. Therefore, UI recipients may be required to lower their expectations as the length of their unemployment extends. Unemployment Insurance recipients who refuse a referral to employment from the Kentucky Office of Employment & Training (OET) or refuse to report to an interview to which they were referred or refuse an offer of employment that results from a referral made by OET risk losing their eligibility for UI benefits.
