The Public Service Commission of Yazoo City is proud to announce the launch of a hands-on computer training initiative designed specifically for its field employees. This professional development opportunity is being provided in collaboration with the Mississippi State University Extension Service.
The training, which focuses on improving digital literacy, basic computer operations, and utility-related software skills, is part of an ongoing effort to equip employees with tools that enhance operational efficiency and service delivery.
This initiative was organized by Dennis McFee, CEO/General Manager of the Public Service Commission of Yazoo City, in partnership with Sharon Nettles of Mississippi State University Extension. “This training ensures that all employees — regardless of their role in the organization — have access to the skills and knowledge they need to grow and succeed in an increasingly digital workplace,” said McFee.
Mississippi State University Extension's experienced trainers, India Crews and Delta Newman with the MSU Center for Technology Outreach, are leading the sessions, which include both classroom instruction and hands-on learning. The program is designed to be practical and accessible, emphasizing real-world applications that directly support the utility’s field operations.
"Mississippi State University Extension remains dedicated to delivering educational resources that empower communities and enhance local workforce capacity," said Sharon Nettles, Extension Agent. "Our collaboration with the Public Service Commission of Yazoo City highlights the impact of working together to broaden digital skills and foster sustainable workforce development throughout Mississippi."
Public Service Commission of Yazoo City extends its thanks to Mississippi State Extension for their partnership and dedication to helping Yazoo City continue to grow and innovate through employee development.
