We may have Workforce Development computer workshops and night classes
taught be EMCC again this year. We should know if funding will be approved
within one month. These are not academic classes and have nothing to do with
the EMCC campus on base. If funding is approved by the State of Mississippi,
we will need to know what classes people are interested in attending.
The computer workshops will need of minimum of 6 and maximum of 11 and will
meet in the afternoons.
The other classes will need a minimum of 8 and maximum of 20, and meet at
nights. Pharmacy Technician does require a pretest.
There is a survey attached. If interested in attending these classes, please
read, fill out survey and return to me at the A&FRC. I need a response in
the next few weeks, (6 August) to coordinate with EMCC.
If you have any questions please call 434-2790, or 434-2631, thanks.
