NWKF Partners with KMAC to Expand Opportunities
Northwest Kentucky Forward has partnered with the Kentucky Manufacturing Assistance Center to significantly expand the training opportunities available to existing companies in the region.
KMAC is a private, not-for-profit corporation created by the Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation and the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development to support and strengthen Kentucky’s manufacturing sector. KMAC has been helping manufacturers improve their production methods, advance their technical capabilities, and adopt best business practices since 1995.
KMAC recently sponsored a survey of Kentucky manufacturers that was part of a national study looking at Next Generation Manufacturing strategies to determine if companies are positioning themselves to be competitive in 2015. One of the findings points to the need for better support and training at the local, regional and state level.
This partnership will allow NWKF to offer several 2, 4, and 6–hour training programs to local companies free of charge. KMAC will provide financial and training support to support this initiative.
