Biography
Kenneth Kempf is a Veterans Employment Consultant in the Raleigh Local Office of the North Carolina Employment Security Commission (ESC). He is a Vietnam Veteran where he served with the 101st Airborne Division of the U. S. Army.
A football scholarship allowed him to earn his BS in Business Administration from Miami University (Ohio). Following his tour in Vietnam he embarked on a 30 year career in the energy business, working his way from a laborers position in an underground coal mine to District Vice President of Sales for the largest coal company in the United States. The next phase of his career involved the purchasing of coal, trading emission allowances and trading electricity for a Fortune 250 utility company.
His duties with the ESC for the past two years have allowed him to reconnect with the military since he only works with veterans.

Services offered include: job referrals, self assessment, resume preparation, interviewing skills, networking skills, referrals to other services, encouragement, and moral support.
