Registration continues for ICC's Gateway program

Registration is continuing for the Gateway program at Itawamba Community College.

              The program is designed to serve disadvantaged individuals between the ages of 16-24, not currently enrolled in school and/or unemployed or underemployed. Goals are to complete the essential job skills training, obtain a high school equivalency diploma if needed, participate in a paid work experience opportunity, enroll in college or in an occupational or advanced training program, join the military or become employed. All unemployed participants will be placed in a paid work experience internship once the student completes the Essential Job Skills training.

According to WIOA Youth Coordinator Sanders Bell, students can start on Monday and possibly have a job by Friday.

Enrollments are currently being accepted for participants from all of ICC’s supporting counties, including Chickasaw, Itawamba, Lee, Monroe and Pontotoc. Open enrollment for classes in the one-week program begins Mondays at 9 a.m. at the ICC WIN Job Centers. For more information, call (662) 407-1207 or email gateway@iccms.edu.

The program is funded by the Mississippi Partnership Workforce Development Board and the Three Rivers Planning and Development District, Inc.
