"A system like this is going to help us (Selma) with an existing industry that has about 300 people. Their pay scale will be based on how well they complete the modules and go towards their advanced manufacturing credential. We have a few industries who are ready for this now," said James Mitchell, president of Wallace Community College in Selma, Ala.

Other colleges taking part in WAEM are, Beville State Community College, Alabama Southern and Shelton State in Alabama, and East Mississippi Community College, Jones County Junior College and Meridian Community College in Mississippi.

"For our region to be competitive in the world economy, we must provide the means to develop the highly skilled work force that will be required to retain and attract jobs and industry to our region," said EMCC President Phil Sutphin.
