Episode 16: Today, Dr. Omar Ayyash, President and CEO of the World Trade Center Kentucky interviews Ryan Quarles, President and CEO of the Kentucky Community & Technical College System (KCTCS). Ryan shares some interesting insights about the impact KCTCS is having in its efforts to support Kentucky businesses and our workforce.

Ryan observes that while Kentucky is a landlocked state, we are defined by our success in international markets. While Kentucky needs international trade, more importantly, the world needs Kentucky products.
