EKCEP Assists Phillips Diversified Manufacturing with Apprenticeship to Retain Skilled Employees

EKCEP's Business Services Team first met in 2017 with management from Phillips Diversified Manufacturing, a contract manufacturer with five facilities in Eastern Kentucky's Clay and Jackson counties, to discuss a new apprenticeship program at the company. Since then, with input and contributions from other partners including Clay County Area Technology Center and the Kentucky apprenticeship office, Phillips Diversified has begun training welders in-house, with three having completing the program and five others currently in training. If you're interested in an apprenticeship at your business, call EKCEP's Business Services Team today at 606-435-8490.

EKCEP helps workers and businesses in 23 Eastern Kentucky counties meet the challenges and seize the opportunities of today's economy. EKCEP operates the Kentucky Career Center JobSight network of workforce centers, which provide access to more than a dozen state and federal programs that offer employment and training assistance for jobseekers and employers all under one roof.
