Courses to prepare people for jobs at GE, other employers
Additional free training is available in Louisville and Bullitt
County to help people qualify for good-paying manufacturing jobs that are
opening up at GE and other area employers.
GE has announced plans to hire at least 75 new workers and prefers to hire
individuals who have received the Certified Production Technician or CPT
training.
The first step in getting the free four-week CPT training is to
attend an orientation session. Sessions are being held at the following
locations:
- KY Manufacturing Career Center, 160 Rochester Dr., Suite 115B,
Louisville
- Tuesdays and
Fridays at 2 p.m. (No session November 27)
- Southwest Regional Library, 9725 Dixie Highway, Louisville
- Mondays at 2
p.m. (November 9 and 16 only)
Call (502) 276-9711, Ext. 4001, to register for an orientation
session.
New classes start in December at the Kentucky
Manufacturing Career Center, 160 Rochester Drive; the NIA Center at 29th &
Broadway and the Bullitt County campus of Jefferson Community & Technical
College in Shepherdsville.
Graduates of the four-week CPT training earn a nationally
recognized certificate and will have opportunities to interview with local
companies. You must be at least 18 years of age.
The training is being provided by KentuckianaWorks through the
Kentucky Manufacturing Career Center which opened in 2013 to train and connect
people to manufacturing jobs. The facility near the airport in south Louisville
was created in response to Mayor Fischer’s BEAM initiative to make the region a
hub of advanced manufacturing.
