TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) – Civic and business leaders were able to share their needs with representatives from a local community college.

The Fall meeting of the ICC District Workforce Council included demographic data, results of a survey among various companies and program offerings from ICC.

ICC President Mike Eaton says it is vital to know what businesses need in the way of workforce training, so the college can provide proper classes and training for students.

“We need their feedback to hopefully improve what we do in this area, so that it becomes very important we have their view on their particular workforce, their training and what they need.”

The District Workforce Council covers the 5 county area served by ICC.
