Internal Mobility Program
If you are a state employee with merit status and want to be considered for promotion to a vacant position, you must:
- Create an account and profile in the Career Opportunities System (COS) and submit or have an updated application in COS with the Personnel Cabinet’s Division of Career Opportunities.
- Meet the minimum requirements for the position for which you are applying and submit (apply) to that vacancy.
Employees on Internal Mobility (promotional) registers are not ranked. When an Internal Mobility register is requested, the names of all Internal Mobility applicants who have applied to that vacancy are sent to agencies that advertise a vacancy and request a register. Laid-off employees are referred to as re-employments and are eligible for this designation on registers for which they apply for up to five years. If this is the case, only the names of re-employments and internal mobility (current state employees with merit status) who have applied to the vacancy will be sent to the agencies. Summer, Interim, non-merit, and probationary employees are not eligible for Internal Mobility registers. Part-time merit employees are only eligible for part-time Internal Mobility registers otherwise they may apply to all competitive vacancies.
If you have any questions, contact the Personnel Cabinet, Division of Career Opportunities at (502) 564-8030 or you may email the COS Help Desk at: CosHelp@ky.gov.
