State Workforce Investment Board; require to create, through Office of Workforce Development; certain list of certifications.
HB 333 requires Mississippi's State Workforce Investment Board to create a separate list of high-value industry certifications for community college students. It mandates the Mississippi Community College Board to pay $600 per student toward career and technical education certifications earned at participating community colleges, starting in fiscal year 2027, subject to available funding. The bill prevents double-reimbursement for certifications already obtained and aligns the list with existing K-12 certification standards. This directly affects community colleges, their students pursuing career certifications, and the Community College Board's funding allocation process.
