SCK Advanced Manufacturing Alliance

***BY INVITATION ONLY***

 

Please note, this event has been rescheduled from November 6th to December 4th.

 

Introducing the South Central Kentucky Advanced Manufacturing Alliance (SCK AMA) — a new, employer-led initiative designed to tackle our region’s critical workforce needs. Manufacturing is the lifeblood of our economy, generating $94 billion in economic impact and employing over 26,000 people. Yet, with 9,000 positions needing to be filled over the next decade, our industry faces a pressing workforce challenge.

 

Why Join The Alliance?

The SCK AMA is being formed to create a collaborative, demand-driven system for building and sustaining a skilled manufacturing workforce in South Central Kentucky. By joining, you’ll help drive a unified approach to training and recruitment that reflects the needs of regional manufacturers, like you, for a skilled and reliable workforce.

 

Our Mission and Key Focus Areas

Together, we’ll address three core workforce gaps:

  1. Awareness & Outreach – Shaping perceptions of manufacturing careers to attract talent from K-12 students to adults considering career changes.
  2. Career Pathways & Education Alignment – Developing seamless, industry-aligned pathways that prepare high school and college graduates for in-demand jobs.
  3. Upskilling & Incumbent Training – Ensuring current workers can gain new skills and certifications, helping to advance their careers and keep up with evolving technology.

 

How It Works

Led by employer champions and supported by our community partners, SCK AMA will hold quarterly meetings to set goals, review progress, and initiate collaborative projects. A publicly available dashboard will measure key metrics—like program enrollments, job placements, and skills gained—to keep our efforts accountable and transparent.

BGYP & Family Enrichment Center Annual Christmas Party

 

 

Please note: This event is solely for BGYP members, 21-40.

 

Join us on December 16th at BG Skate for the BGYP & Family Enrichment Center Annual Christmas Party!

 

Each year, the Bowling Green Young Professionals (BGYP) team up with the Family Enrichment Center to create a night of pure fun and unforgettable memories for local foster families. The event, held at BG Skate, is a chance for these families to come together, enjoy skating, share a meal, and dive into the excitement of arcade games—all at no cost to them.

 

BGYP members go above and beyond, covering the entire cost of the evening so families can simply show up, have fun, and create lasting memories. It’s a heartwarming initiative designed to provide a sense of belonging and joy for foster children and their caregivers, giving them a break from the challenges they may face and offering a night of pure fun.

 

The goal? To give these families an experience they will cherish for years to come while empowering BGYP members to make a tangible difference in the lives of others. This partnership is a perfect example of how young professionals in Bowling Green are stepping up, working together, and creating meaningful impact in their community.
