Computer class
to help with job applications
The
WIN Job Center in Holly Springs will aid individuals who need help
learning how to apply for jobs online, according to county supervisor
George Zinn III.
He
said online applications are
becoming a requirement and that some companies will not let WIN Job
Centers assist individuals making online applications for job openings.
Anyone
who wants to sign up for basic computer
classes so they can learn how to apply for any manufacturing or other
job listing online is encouraged to go to the WIN Job Center in Holly
Springs on Rust Avenue. Workers there will help the individual enroll
in a basic computer class at the Regional Technology Center in Holly
Springs.
Classes
will be offered November 2-5 from 9 a.m. until 12 noon and again
November 9-12 from 9 a.m. until noon.
If
enough people request enrollment in these basic computer classes, the
technology center will offer evening classes as well, Zinn said.
He
said Toyota and some of its tier suppliers will not allow workers with
the WIN Job Centers to help file an application for an individual.
There may be other manufacturing companies and industries that also
have the same requirement, he said.
There
are
computers available for use at the Regional Technology Center, the WIN
Job Center and at the Marshall County libraries in Byhalia, Holly
Springs and Potts Camp where individuals may go to file online
applications.
Wreck at
Hudsonville produces big blaze
Holly
Springs Fire Department personnel took an hour or more to extinguish a
fire at the intersection of Highway 313 and Highway 7 North near
Hudsonville, according to fire chief Kenny Holbrook.
He
said the driver of the car and the 18-wheeler were transported to
Alliance HealthCare System with minor injuries while firefighters put
out a blaze. The fire was caused when one of the fuel tanks on the
truck was ruptured, spreading large amounts of diesel across the
highway.
The
truck, northbound at the time of the
accident called in at 1:18 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 16, left the road and
wound up on property owned by the Bolden family. The fire spread,
encompassed the truck and caught farm implements and hay bales afire,
Holbrook said, causing a smoke that could be seen seven miles away in
Holly Springs.
Firefighters
used foam to extinguish the blaze.
