OutReach Programs

A major role of the CME is to help prospective students and Mississippi industries, and numerous programs are being developed to ensure that this role is met. Programs are being developed by building partnerships with K-12 and community colleges, as well as study abroad programs. The purpose of these far-reaching programs is to involve students from the time they start school in Mississippi until they reach enrollment age for the CME. Once enrolled at the university, students will have access to programs that involve them in manufacturing industries and prepare them for employment. Follow-up programs also are being developed to continue training and provide new skills sets to the work force. Through these programs, the CME hopes to influence manufacturing from the start of person’s work in school to the end of their employment in the industry by providing training and education at all levels promoting continuous improvement.
