KCTCS TRAINS Funding Options
Our training has many advantages over traditional college classes! Our classes are:

-      Customized to your industry

-      Scheduled based on your worker availability

-      On-site or near your site

-      Taught by industry-experienced instructors

-      Possibly eligible for 75% paid state funding


Industry courses offered through OCTC's Workforce Solutions division are tailored to your industry, personalized to your organization’s strategic priorities and adapted to meet your needs. This industry training option allows you the opportunity to schedule classes and labs whenever it is most convenient for employees. If possible, we can offer training at your location or near your location at one of our satellite campuses. An industry-experienced instructor delivers personalized training.

In addition, your employees will not have to assume the responsibility of submitting transcripts, taking the college placement test, registering for courses, paying fees, and buying books and supplies on their own before the class starts. At Workforce Solutions, these tasks are handled by a single point of contact. Your employees don't pay tuition and fees on an individual basis. Your organization is charged only after the training has progressed. Most of our industry training programs are eligible for KCTCS TRAINS funding (75% paid with state funding).

Since production requirements are first and foremost with majority of our company partners, they overwhelmingly prefer the flexibility and individualization that customized delivery provides.

Your company may be eligible to 75% or 100% training funds from Kentucky. 

75% FUNDING FOR INCUMBENT WORKER TRAINING
All for-profit companies in the Commonwealth of Kentucky are eligible for KCTCS-TRAINS funding. KCTCS-TRAINS will support projects for:

-      existing Kentucky companies that are requiring employees to learn new skills in their jobs.

-      companies that are contributing to Kentucky’s economic development

For incumbent worker training, companies are required to pay 25% of the cost and KCTCS-TRAINS reimburses the college directly for the remaining 75%. Colleges will work with the company to identify a schedule for invoicing after services are delivered.

100% FUNDING for Companies new to Kentucky

For companies that are creating new jobs by relocating into Kentucky or for existing business/industry that are already doing business in Kentucky, workforce education and training programs and services are available at a 100% no-cost level after meeting eligibility specifics and minimum requirements.

Eligible companies are defined by program requirements for the Kentucky Business Investment (KBI) Program as defined by KRS 154.32. As with all state administered economic development incentive programs, any inducements offered to an eligible company under the KBI Program are negotiated by Cabinet for Economic Development officials.

Our training has many advantages over traditional non-customized college classes.

Workforce Solution at OCTC utilizes qualified subject-matter experts and instructors to provide basic-through-advanced levels of industrial training. We offer the training opportunities in the following areas, many of which can lead to a degree, including:

OCTC offers a hybrid option for employee training where employees participate in interactive and engaging computer-based training (CBT) modules and take an assessment to test their knowledge. Then following each CBT module, the employees come together for an in-person training session to demonstrate the skills they have learned.  The CBT modules provide training in Professional Development or Industry Specific topics. Face-to-face training may be eligible for KCTCS TRAINS funding.

We specialize in creating online training for your company.  Our courses include videos of your site as well as built-in assessments of your employees' understanding of their training.  Our back-office will register your students and provide support for accessing the training.  If you should want to add an instructor-led component, we will supply a content expert to connect with your employees via the web or face-to-face. You will receive a detailed report of completion and mastery of content. Our leadership and compliance training has been used extensively by our customers in our 7 county area.

However, if you want "off-the-shelf" online training, we have a wide variety of courses that are available!

Save time and money on recruitment

Cultivate your own leaders

Promote from within
