Two Barren County area high school students are participating in Service One Credit Union’s (SOCU) new Teller TRACK apprenticeship program.  Kelton Ladd, a junior, and Lauren Reeves, a senior, at BCHS were selected from among 5 applicants for the program. The students will work part-time at the Glasgow, KY branch during their internship.

Service One is the first in the State to offer the program developed by the Kentucky Credit Union League and the Kentucky Education Workforce Development Cabinet.  The program combines on-the-job training and work experience with specific classwork to prepare students for their future careers.  Students who complete the two-year program will receive a nationally recognized certification.

“The availability of career-ready job applicants is one of the important issues facing businesses today, and we are pleased to pilot a program that prepares students today to join the workforce of tomorrow,” said Michelle Dyer, SVP/COO.

Kelton Ladd is the son of Ms. Daphne Pierce and Lauren Reeves is the daughter of Ms. Kacie Reeves.  Their business teacher at BCHS is Ms. Angela Rush.

With three branches in Bowling Green, and branches in Glasgow, Russellville, Scottsville, and Hopkinsville, Service One continues to grow its membership while investing in the best technology and products to serve its members.
