-Work-Ethic Certification for Students: Bullitt County Schools and Spencer County Schools have joined in partnership with Bullitt County Chamber of Commerce and Spencer County-Taylorsville Chamber of Commerce to help prepare students for the transition from school to work and life beyond the classroom. Bullitt and Spencer County schools will help equip students with the tools and skills required by employers to get and keep jobs in high-growth career industries. The Work Ethic Certification will demonstrate to employers that the students are an individual that recognizes the importance of work ethic and has been trained to succeed in the work place. A student earning the Work Ethic Certification will earn a certificate and t-shirt while in elementary, middle and high school. Once they have earned the Work Ethic Certificate as a senior, they will be guaranteed an interview with participating businesses for jobs that they qualify for.
