Together, Mississippi’s local WIN employment center and Holmes Community College (HCC) work as a team with Montgomery County’s Economic Development staff to answer every employer need, from startup through expansion. That includes recruitment, targeted skills training at either HCC or on the shop floor, and even training for expansion.
