FRANKFORT, Ky. (Nov. 16, 2023) – After securing a second term last week, Gov. Andy Beshear today invited those who want to help the Beshear/Coleman administration continue building a better Kentucky to apply for an unclassified position at jointeamky.ky.gov.

The website includes information on how to apply for an unclassified position, details on the benefits of Executive Branch state employment and lists in-demand jobs. Those jobs include the director of emergency management; commissioner of workforce development; inspector general for the Finance and Administration Cabinet; commissioner of the Department of Juvenile Justice; executive director of the Office of Policy and Audit for the Finance and Administration Cabinet; executive director, Office of Inspector General for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services and executive director of the Early Childcare Advisory Council.

“We are looking for teammates to help us turn these past four years of economic progress into decades of prosperity for all our families and communities,” Gov. Beshear said. “Those joining us will be stepping up to support the rebuilding of Western Kentucky following the devastating tornadoes and Eastern Kentucky following the historic floods. We have gotten through these tough times together, and now we are getting to the good times together.”

Gov. Beshear’s administration has helped secure the two best years of economic development by creating almost 50,000 new jobs and securing $27.8 billion in new private-sector investment, which includes building the two biggest electric battery plants on planet Earth and the cleanest, greenest recycled paper mill in the country.

The administration also moved mega infrastructure projects forward by securing the funding to build the Brent Spence Bridge companion bridge with no tolls, four-laning the entire Mountain Parkway and advancing the I-69 project.

Many Kentucky families and communities are also receiving clean drinking water and high-speed internet for the first time.

“I am excited and optimistic about what we can accomplish in the next four years, together – building the Kentucky we’ve always dreamed of. If you want to help Team Kentucky get more big things done for our families, apply today,” Gov. Beshear said.
