Workforce/Basic Skills Training

The Workforce Training Coordinators at Southwest MS Community College address the district's needs for upgrading basic skills and technical levels. Employees can learn and adapt to new technology as well as develop communication and problem solving skills. This training bridges the gap between existing knowledge and skills needed to perform in today's workforce. These classes help individuals prepare for a job, get a better job, or simply enhance basic skills.
