Training for Manufacturing Jobs

This information is being taken from the Tunica Times, 30 Sep 2011 Edition on pages 7 and 9. If you are not subscribing to the Tunica Times, you are missing out on your community news. Frankly, I don't know why anyone would not subscribe to their local newspaper. It's about caring what is going on in your community and figuring out what you can do to help make Tunica County better for yourself and everyone in the county.

The page 7 article is titled: "Schultz partners with NWCC for training"

"Area residents looking to gain the basic manufacturing skills needed to be considered for employment at emerging area industries are looking to Workforce Development at Northwest Mississippi Community College to provide the manufacturing basic skills (MBS) certificate program they need."

..."For more information about classes offered through Workforce Development at Northwest, contact Dwayne Casey at 662-562-3486 or dcasey@northwestms.edu."

According to this newspaper article, Schultz Xtruded Products LP is not the only manufacturing company needing employees in NW MS. In addition to Schultz there are the following two companies:

1. Solardigm in Olive Branch
2. Twin Creeks in Senatobia

So, this is the deal. If you are serious about starting a career at one of these facilities, go to the WIN-Job center to register. For starters, you must have a high school diploma or GED and pass a drug test. Then there is assessment testing and now this certificate program.

And while you are at it, subscribe to your local newspaper. It's the right thing to do for you and for your community.
