Young people and adults who need addi-tional skills for poten-
tial employment should check out the Division of Workforce Training and
Economic Development at Northeast Mississippi Community College.
The workforce division will help people get the skills they need to get to
work.Their goal is to help
area residents gain skills and experience while helping area industries fi ll their need for trained and qualifi ed workers.
The division offers a wide range of opportu-nities and its staff works closely with each individ-ual student to help meet their specifi c needs -- whether they’re a young person looking for a GED and further training, an adult worker seeking to upgrade their skills to gain better opportunities or anyone else looking to build a better future, not-ed Greg James.
A relatively new pro-gram offered by the divi-sion is a series of career path programs tailored to give students skills and certifi cations directly related to growing fi elds where jobs are available right now.
“All three pathways are in-demand jobs,” said James.
The three areas cur-rently offered are Micro-computer/Information Systems Technology; Medical and Business Of-fi ce Assisting and Indus-trial Maintenance IT.
Each program takes the student through a defi ned course giving them experience in key area and helping them gain professional certi-fi cations that will make them employable in these high-demand fi elds. The programs can be taken in conjunction with training for a GED or other train-ing.
The pathway programs parallel full-credit, de-gree-seeking programs at the college, so students who want to can often successfully test for col-lege credit and move on to a degree program if
they wish to continue their education.
Thanks to funding through the federal Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training grant program, most of the pro-grams are available free or at very minimal costs and numerous scholar-ship options are available to qualifying students, so fi nancial issues should not be a barrier to a bet-ter education and career, said the instructors.
A separate program known as Counseling to Career is aimed at stu-dents ages 14-21 who are not currently attending school and who need ba-sic job skills. The program provides one-on-one counseling, assistance in getting a GED and train-ing in basic job and work-force skills. They partner with local businesses to place the students into a temporary, paid job that will give them direct experience in the work-force.
Students can also ob-tain a Career Readiness Certifi cate through the department, which certi-fi es to potential employ-ers they have the basic job skills needed to be a successful employee.
With programs avail-able at the Booneville campus as well as at the college’ satellite locations in Corinth, New Albany, Iuka and Ripley thanks to high-tech distance learn-ing tools, the division is equipped to reach out to students wherever they are and help them better themselves and get the training they need to be successful.
(For more information on all the division has to offer, visit www.nemcc.edu/workforce or call 662-720-7238.)
With the 27th Annual Brose Autoplex Slug-burger Festival just over a week away, festival chair-person Taylor Coombs is excited about the addi-tion of two new events to the three-day celebration.
The festival will be July 10-12 in downtown Corinth.
“I’m so thrilled about the changes we’ve made to the lineup on Satur-day,” said Coombs, who also serves as Main Street director. “We have cre-ated events that will give folks other things to do on
Saturday before the eat-ing competition and en-tertainment that night.”
A Green Market style event has been added on Saturday, as well as a Miss Slugburger pageant.
“We’re not trying to steal anything away from the Green Market, just trying to build on the success they have,” said Coombs. “I have talked to several vendors who will be setting up at the Green Market on July 5, then setting up at the Slug Market on July 12. They’re happy to have two
event offerings on back-to-back weekends.”
The Slug Market will take place from 10 a.m., until 2 p.m., in the park-ing lot area of the C.A.R.E. Garden. All products sold must be handcrafted or grown by the applicant. Vendor setup is $10.
“By doing the Slug Market all day Saturday, our hope is to keep peo-ple downtown,” added Coombs.
The Miss Slugburger Festival Pageant is anoth-er addition to the lineup.
The pageant, set for 10
a.m., on July 12, will be held at the Corinth The-atre-Arts building on Ful-ton Drive.
Coombs said the popu-lar PBJ Happee Days Car-nival will return this year. The carnival will be setup in the clock parking lot on the corner of Cruise and Fillmore Streets.
“We try to never disap-point by offering a wide range of entertainment during the festival,” said Coombs. “This year is no different.”
On Thursday night, fan favorite Garrett Eye
Clinic’s Slug Idol returns, followed by North Missis-sippi based group Twenty Mile. Friday night will fea-ture Aaron Vance, Jason D. Williams and Corinth-based group Prowler. The festival wraps up Saturday night with entertainment from the Mink Brothers Band, Law of Nature and Dr. Zarr’s Amazing Funk Monster.
The 3rd Annual World Slugburger Eating Cham-pionship returns on July 11 offering up $3,000 in total cash prizes.
“The eating competi-
tion will be fabulous,” said Coombs.
Last year at the Ma-jor League Eating event, more than 1,000 peo-ple witnessed Matthew “Megatoad” Stonie down 31 slugburgers in 10 min-utes to win the event.
(For festival, Slug Idol or Slug Market details, call Coombs at 662-287-1550 or visit slugburger-festival.com. For Miss Slugburger pageant de-tails, call Jennifer Timbes at 214-384-5430 or [email protected].)
