We’ve given away $1,000s in awards to graduating students. This year, we’re giving away even more to help students take their first step toward a great career and financial independence. When we invest in our people, the whole state benefits.

[Governor Tate Reeves @tatereeves]

We’re dramatically expanding our efforts to get career coaches in schools across Mississippi. In two years, we’ve grown the program from 20 to 185 coaches.

These coaches are playing a critical role in helping students find opportunities in the workforce!

In my first column (!), I write in the @magnoliatribune about the need for more Mississippians to pursue degrees that align with industry demand.

It’s the only way we will raise incomes, grow our economy, and strengthen our communities.
