\nThe growing manufacturing industry in Elizabethtown is in need of more workers, and a new program at a local college may help.<\/p>\n

Elizabethtown Community and Technical College (ECTC) is partnering with five area high schools for the “Upward Bound Math and Science” program, aimed at helping students discover career options in math and science fields.<\/p>\n

Megan Stith, chief advancement officer at ECTC, said with manufacturing thriving in the area, more people with knowledge in science and math are needed.<\/p>\n

The program is being funded with a $1.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education. It will provide students with extra tutoring, summer programs, and visits to other colleges and businesses to learn about education and career opportunities.<\/p>\n

ECTC hopes to help 60 students each school year. It is partnering with LaRue County, Nelson County, Thomas Nelson, Washington County and North Hardin High schools to find students for the program.<\/p>\n

The program will also offer financial counseling, as well as help with college and scholarship applications, to ensure students are set up for success.<\/p>\n

Stith said ECTC wants to get the program going as soon as possible, and plans for it to become a permanent resource in the community.<\/p>\n

ECTC is currently looking to hire a director, coordinator and other staff for the program. If interested in applying, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Students who are within one of the program’s partner high schools, and are interested in being contacted when it is time to enroll, are asked to call ECTC at 270-706-8721. More information for potential students will also be added to ECTC’s website soon, according to Stith.
