The event included a discussion of registered apprenticeship and pipeline needs and issues from employer and student perspectives, as well as outcomes and lessons learned.  The webinar also highlighted Stober Drives, a successful example of the youth pre-apprenticeship program. Presenters were Laura Arnold, Kentucky Career and Technical Education Director; Mary Taylor, TRACK Coordinator; Mike Donta, Kentucky Supervisor of Apprenticeship; and Kay Moss, Stober Drives Human Resource Director.
