HCC FAME

Henderson Community College FAME Logo HCC FAME

The Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education (FAME) is a Henderson Community College program created to help those aiming for a college degree graduate with little or no college debt. Based on the national Toyota Advanced Manufacturing Technician and Computerized Manufacturing and Machining programs, this work-and-earn program lets participating students gain work experience while simultaneously earning an industry-recognized degree.

Applicants must be high school graduates or GED holders and be willing to take part in the 40-hour/week apprenticeship-style course. Successful applicants will have paid work three days a week at a sponsor company and attend class the other two days. After 18 months or five semesters, students will earn an Associates in Applied Science and have valuable real-world experience. Many students graduate with job offers from their sponsor company, while others further pursue a bachelor’s degree.

Think Kentucky logo

The state of Kentucky is focused on the development and training of skilled workers. The Kentucky Skills Network is working through the Cabinet for Economic Development’s Grant-in-Aid and Skills Training Investment Credit to support workers and employers in developing new skills and remaining competitive.

The competitive Grant-in-Aid (GIA) provides funding 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. Qualified companies include manufacturers, agribusiness, non-retail service or technology companies, national or regional headquarters, healthcare companies and training consortia.

The Skills Training Investment Credit (STIC) offers state income tax credits for companies to offset the costs for approved training programs provided to incumbent employees of companies engaged in the manufacturing, agribusiness, non-retail service or technology, national or regional headquarters, and healthcare company sectors.

Applications are accepted and reviewed year-round by the Bluegrass State Skills Corporation Board of Directors.
