Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Louisville teams
Hiring and keeping people is the daily fight for Louisville employers. Jefferson County counts 433,979 private-sector jobs (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27), and 92 percent of its 20,164 employer establishments have fewer than 50 employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023, retrieved 2026-07-27). Most of those workplaces run without a full HR bench, so when a complaint or a resignation lands, it lands on a working manager first.
Catapult was founded in Charlotte in 1958 and today trains Kentucky teams live online.

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 delivers that training to Louisville teams live online, and every attendee leaves a completion record behind.
