We’re excited to share the official launch of the Young Professionals of Southeast Kentucky—an exciting new initiative to develop and retain talented young professionals right here in Southeast Kentucky.

Young Professionals (YP) will offer rotating events throughout the region focused on networking, leadership development, and personal growth. While the initiative is geared toward individuals aged 21–40ish in professional, entrepreneurial, or skilled trade fields, all are welcome. Most events will be free of charge.

This initiative is powered by a growing coalition of regional partners, including Pine Mountain Partnership Chamber of Commerce, Harlan Chamber of Commerce, Harlan Tourism, SOAR, One Harlan County, Harlan County Fiscal Court, Kentucky Highlands Investment Corp., Tri-Cities KY Main Street, SKCTC, and more.

“Together, let’s build a fearless community of leaders shaping the future of Southeast Kentucky.”

 - Lee Harrison, President SKCTC
