Northeast Mississippi Community College president Dr. Ricky G. Ford sits with Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Roark to talk about the college's Medical Assisting Technology program celebrating 50 years. Not only is Northeast's Medical Assisting one of the top programs in the state, but it was started in 1972 and has constantly been producing high-quality medical assistants for various medical organizations since then. During the second part of the interview, Ford talks about the job that the Division of Business and Engineering Technology has done with its Tiger Apprenticeship Program. This year nearly 30 students signed with various employers and industries throughout northeast Mississippi to give them on-the-job training and experience while still earning their degree from one of the top community colleges in the country. Ford also provides information about the Northeast Promise scholarship that helps career and technical students achieve their ambitions of a college education. In the end, Ford wraps up the interview with the Northeast News.
