Career training scholarships now available to residents of Bullitt, Henry, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, and Trimble counties

Funds through the Kentucky Career Center will help prepare job seekers for careers in healthcare, IT, business, manufacturing, and more

Getting trained and certified for a new career can be expensive, often costing thousands of dollars. But a new offering from the Kentucky Career Center is making it more affordable for residents of Bullitt, Henry, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, and Trimble counties to pursue a new career. 

“We’re focused on helping people get into quality jobs that offer good pay and prospects for the future,” said Michael Gritton, Executive Director of KentuckianaWorks, the Louisville region’s 7-county workforce development board that oversees the area’s Kentucky Career Centers. “Training is a great way to jump start your career or make a career change, but the cost is a barrier for many people. These scholarships help make it possible.”

The scholarships can be applied to approved training for professions that offer sustainable wages. Training options are available in a variety of high-demand fields including healthcare, technology, business, manufacturing, construction, logistics, and many others. 

There are a limited number of training scholarships available and they are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. An application is required. To learn more about training opportunities and eligibility, contact the Kentucky Career Center at (502) 230-8019 or complete the online interest form at KCCLou.org.
