Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford sits down with Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery to discuss the college's Office of Continuing Education and all that it does to add value to not only the college but the community. Under the direction of Phyllis Colson, the Northeast Office of Continuing Education is responsible for a myriad of classes, courses, events and other opportunities for those wanting to better themselves in a short time frame. As Ford points out, someone may not have 2-3-4 years to invest toward a degree but with Continuing Education, that time is cut down to just days, weeks or even months and helps prepare a person with valuable skills. Ford discusses how continuing education is linked to classes like the Part-Time Reserve Law Enforcement Training Academy and the ever-popular commercial truck driving classes, as well as how continuing education provides training to local hospitality workers through ServSafe workshops and the Radiology Workshop for Dental Assistants. Ford also talks about the Region IV science fair that the Office of Continuing Education is responsible for and a variety of other opportunities that Colson and her staff offer to not only Northeast employees, and students but the community and area workforce as well. To wrap up, Ford gives listeners the Northeast News and discusses athletics, academics, workforce, student activities, and human resources, along with many more important things happening at one of the nation’s top community colleges.
