Politics at play in training program

Governor Phil Bryant wants to put more money into workforce training. But the price may be a redesigned system.

Interesting. A highly touted success of Gov. Haley Barbour by Blueprint Mississippi was the implementation of the current workforce system.

This came to light last week at a hastily called meeting of community college presidents, state agency heads, planning and development districts and Mississippi Works leaders. Mississippi Works is the Bryant-appointed, business-led initiative to improve economic development. Mississippi Development Authority staff facilitated.
