Region identified the skill need for the Enhanced Operator

• Northern Kentucky employers are struggling to find Enhanced Operators due to a lack of

developed skills.

• Partners for Competitive Workforce coordinated a partnership between the industry employers

and Gateway Community and Technical College to develop a competency-based certificate

• The outcome of the partnership is the Enhanced Operator Certificate, a short-term industry

credential, developed to satisfy these needs and assist the pipeline to fill these high-demand

job opportunities.
