Lake Cumberland Regional Training Consortium
A new partnership with Somerset Community College (SCC), the Somerset-Pulaski Economic Development Authority (SPEDA) is reviving an employer-led association that provides high-quality, inexpensive training to its members.The Lake Cumberland Regional Training Consortium (LCRTC) offers a variety of courses in leadership, team building, customer service, information technology and safety, helping employees of member businesses improve their skills and offering networking opportunities for those companies that choose to join. Becoming a member also provides employers with 50 points toward their Bluegrass State Skills Grant application, which offers reimbursements for worker training at Kentucky’s new and expanding companies and for skills and occupational upgrade training for workers of Kentucky’s existing companies.
Membership
Membership to the consortium is $100 per year for an organization, and any employee of that organization is eligible to participate in training sessions. The typical cost per participant for each class is between $25 to $40, depending upon the materials required for the course.
Join
Class Size
Class sizes will be limited to 20 to 25 participants, and there is a five participant minimum for each class to be offered. A company can typically register up to five participants, but after the deadline has passed and if additional seats are still available, then a company can request and pay to send additional participants.
