WESSON – Copiah-Lincoln Community College recently hosted a Mississippi Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (MI-BEST) breakfast at the Billy B. Thames Center on the Wesson Campus. A brief program with Co-Lin MI-BEST students staff, faculty along with administrators sharing program success. Guest speaker for the event was Senator District 39 Sally Doty.
The MI-BEST program takes high school dropouts and provides simultaneous enrollment in GED preparation and skills training that produces workers who can compete for high skilled jobs, get hired, and stay employed.  The program is a national model that is aligned with the state’s Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) plan.  Each of the 15 community and junior colleges are offering the program through a $6 million grant the Mississippi Community College Board (MCCB) received in 2015 from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
Governor Phil Bryant proclaimed the week of October 17-22 to be “MI-BEST Week” across the state.  As such, each community college hosted events at its campuses to highlight specific programs. Five career-technical programs featured at Co-Lin include Automotive Technology, Business and Office Technology; Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Technology, Precision Machining Technology, and Diesel Equipment Technology.
MI-BEST partners include Mississippi business and industries in each community college service district, state agencies, private foundations and various community-based organizations.

Attending Co-Lin’s MI-BEST breakfast were from left, Co-Lin President Dr. Ronnie Nettles, Senator District 39 Sally Doty, Co-Lin Board of Trustee Member Ray Brown, Jr.; Co-Lin Dean of Career, Technical & Workforce Education Jackie Martin; and Co-Lin Assistant Dean of Career, Technical & Workforce Education Brent Duguid.
