In
the fall of 1987, several of Elizabethtown's existing businesses and
industries began informal discussions of their need for upgrading the
skills of their employees. With the help of the Elizabethtown/Hardin
County Industrial Foundation and the Hardin County Plant Manager's
Association, a training program was organized by local industry,
and the Elizabethtown Community and Technical College to provide the training
needed. A charter membership group
was formed to satisfy this purpose and direction, and began operating under
the title
of Elizabethtown Industrial Foundation Training Consortium (EIFTC).
Although initial course
offerings were in the maintenance area, the selection has broadened to
include computer applications, regulatory activities and management
training. Thus far, several thousand participants from over 50
businesses, industries, government agencies and the general public have
attended EIFTC courses.
The unique success of EIFTC
is the result of excellent cooperation among business and industry,
Elizabethtown/Hardin County Industrial Foundation, and the Elizabethtown
Community and Technical College. |
