SUMMARY: First Mississippi Federal Credit Union is celebrating a milestone by putting people first. As part of the national credit union movement, which began 90 years ago and is described as “people helping people,” they have served Lauderdale and Clark counties for over 50 years. Jerome Tryan shared insights into the credit union's mission, emphasizing that unlike banks, credit unions are not-for-profit entities. This allows them to pay members dividends through loans and other financial services, instead of paying shareholders. Today, over 140 million Americans benefit from being part of these independent financial cooperatives. Congratulations to their continued service!

The Credit Union has served Lauderdale and Clarke Counties for over 50 years and continues caring for its members daily.

SUMMARY: The trade industry faces a shortage of skilled workers, particularly electricians, as experienced professionals age out. Electricians are essential in installing electrical, lighting, and control systems in buildings. Jeff Franks, Electrical Technology Program Director at ICC, aims to develop a steady stream of skilled workers to meet high demand. Students in the program can work in manufacturing, residential construction, and various environments across the U.S., earning while they learn. The median pay for electricians is over $60,000, with Mississippi requiring a license for the profession. This initiative ensures a continuous supply of proficient electricians, emphasizing safety and expertise.
