Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Lexington teams
Fayette County’s 162,195 private-sector jobs are spread across 9,295 employer establishments, and 94 percent of those establishments employ fewer than 50 people (Census County Business Patterns, 2023, retrieved 2026-07-27). Lean teams mean the person handling a tough conversation is rarely an HR specialist. Training the managers you already have is the fix that scales.

Kentucky employment context
HR compliance for Kentucky employers
Kentucky does not require private employers to provide harassment prevention training. The Kentucky Civil Rights Act (KRS chapter 344) prohibits discrimination and harassment at employers with 8 or more employees, a lower threshold than federal Title VII’s 15, and is enforced by the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights; complaints must reach the commission within 180 days. The EEOC recorded 805 Kentucky charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). With no training statute, the standard that matters is the federal reasonable-care defense: under the Faragher and Ellerth decisions, documented supervisor training plus a working complaint process is what protects an employer when a claim lands. Catapult trains Lexington managers on exactly these obligations, live online, with the documentation to match.

Good to know
Lexington HR training questions
Does the Kentucky Civil Rights Act cover small Lexington employers?
Yes, from 8 employees, a lower bar than federal Title VII’s 15. Complaints go to the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights within 180 days, and cross-file with the EEOC. For Lexington’s small employers, that means harassment liability arrives well before the first HR hire, and trained managers are the coverage.
Yes. Every public course runs live online with an instructor, so teams in Lexington and across Fayette County join without travel. There is no residency requirement and no membership needed to register.
Catapult’s classroom sessions run at the Charlotte and Raleigh learning centers. For Lexington employers the two usual routes are live online, which is how most teams attend, or private delivery at your own Lexington location on a date you choose.
Kentucky Civil Rights Act (KRS Ch. 344), enforced by the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights. Catapult training helps Lexington managers meet those obligations in practice, not just in policy. This is general information, not legal advice.
Lexington employers come mainly from Manufacturing, Healthcare, Agriculture. Those sectors book supervisory and employment-law training most often, because managers are usually promoted from the work rather than trained into managing it. The industry notes above list the courses each sector books.
Most single-session courses are $249 for members and $289 for non-members, with three or more seats priced lower. Certificate programs start at $529. A Class Pass covers the whole catalog for a year at $999 for members and $1,199 for non-members.
