IPC COMMUNITY 26 SPRING 2024
IPC achieved a landmark in 2023 by creating
an apprenticeship program approved by the U.S.
Department of Labor. With such a registered
framework in place, industry can work through
IPC to secure local, state, and federal dollars for
workforce development in a way they've never
been able to do before.
The response from industry has been enthusi-
astic. Zentech Manufacturing, headquartered in
Baltimore, Maryland, with production facilities
in Bloomington, Illinois, and Richardson, Texas,
is among the first employer partners to adopt
IPC's national program. IPC is working with
Zentech to secure grant funding that will
help offset the costs incurred with training.
Stephanie Austin, marketing director, helps
explain Zentech's excitement for jumping on
board so quickly.
