To obtain a vocational license in the state of Mississippi, one must first acquire a teaching position at a local vocational center. Once a teaching position has been secured, an application must be completed and signed by the vocational center director and sent with attachments to the appropriate personnel, as indicated in the application packet. Individuals with a high school diploma up to a doctoral degree may apply for licensure. Depending on the highest degree earned, one must establish expertise in the field to which he/she wishes to teach by documenting a specified number of years of experience in that field.

The Vocational Instructor Preparation (VIP) Program is a systematic approach to the induction of new vocational and technical teachers/instructors into the teaching profession. It is designed to assure that these new teachers achieve their potential during the period of special licensure – up to three years of initial employment of non-degree and non-education degree vocational and technical teachers.
