Existing Industry Training Program

Striving to Meet the Training Needs of
North Mississippi's Workforce

The Story of the Consortium

It's a story of four institutions of higher learning East Mississippi Community College, Itawamba Community College, Northeast Mississippi Community College, and Northwest Mississippi Community College who "woke up and wised up" to their diverse assets as well as their more pronounced commonalities: similar workforces, similar economic dynamics

Then they "stood up and stepped up" to the challenge of pooling their expertise and resources to make their vision of cutting-edge education and training a reality.

Here's how we at MCC measure up, again and again. One person at a time, one day at a time, and one success story at a time.

Program Focus

This program is designed to help existing industries provide high-impact training for current employees.  Course offerings are geared toward high cost training that provides immediate skill enhancement to the student and a fast return on investment to the employer.

Only current employees of a company within the Mississippi Corridor Consortium area are eligible to participate.

All costs associated with the Existing Industry Training Program classes will be covered through federal incumbent worker training funds from WIA, Manufacturing Extension Partnership funds and Workforce Enhancement Training funds through the State Board for Community and Junior Colleges.
