On a cloudy March day, hundreds of Louisvillians learned about the ingenuity of the vibrant local developer community as they transition into more digital skills-based jobs. We were inspired by the amazing stories we heard from local organizations about efforts underway to help Kentuckians excel in today’s workforce. As Rusty Justice from local Kentucky success story BitSource puts it, “a coal miner is just a tech worker that gets dirty.”
