Northeast Mississippi Community College is accepting applications for its MI-BEST Program, with only eight spots remaining for Fall 2026, college officials said.

Applicants must meet certain criteria, including being a single parent and needing to earn an HSE. Candidates also need to have a Bronze-level WorkKeys certificate or higher, college officials added.

Available career pathways include certified nursing assistant, emergency medical technician, industrial maintenance, medical administrative assistant, welding, and phlebotomy.
