Displaced Workers Program
As a provider for Mississippi Workforce Investment Act Programs, UM works in conjunction with local WIN Job Centers to offer specific programs. These programs provide education and training to Mississippi’s workers at UM’s 5 campuses. Applications must go through a WIN Job Center to qualify.
Aerospace Industry Workforce Development Intern Program
Aerospace-related businesses at the Stennis Space Center can receive interns from the Mississippi Space Grant Consortium program for a period of 10 weeks. This allows the student to have hands-on training while providing the business with a stronger potential work force. Students will be in the junior or senior year of their studies. Graduate students may also apply.
