SUMMARY: Shelby is hosting its annual JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenge, with high school cadets from 54 schools participating. The event emphasizes leadership, teamwork, and decision-making.

Over 300 cadets from Mississippi and Louisiana are involved, divided into companies and leadership roles. The challenge focuses on personal growth and citizenship rather than military training, although it aids in military transition.

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.
