EDC, HCC partnering to host ‘virtual roadshow’

The South Western Kentucky Economic Development Council has announced that the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers will be hosting a virtual roadshow on May 11 focused on issues of interest to regional manufacturers.

The virtual event is a partnership between Hopkinsville Community College and the KCTCS system, along with Advantage Kentucky Alliance and the SWK EDC as a co-sponsor. Agenda topics include workforce and recruitment, supply chain strategies, legislative advocacy to help manufacturers, local opportunities, and a virtual tour of HCC’s campus to learn more about the workforce opportunities being provided by the institution.
