WEST POINT — East Mississippi Community College will sponsor an information session Saturday for people interested in applying for a job at the Yokohama Tire Manufacturing plant.
College officials tell WTVA-TV that plant officials also will attend the session from 10-11 a.m. at The Civic in West Point. They will discuss the recruitment process, training and application requirements.
The plant is under construction and is expected to employ about 500 people when it opens. Yokohama officials say the facility ultimately could employ as many as 2,000 people as additional phases become operational.
