Our Direction
Too often, students don’t look beyond high school because they may not be aware of career opportunities, or they may not be interested in a four-year degree. Via our career coach initiative, AccelerateMS is helping them find a sense of direction so by the time they graduate, they’re ready to take the next step, whether it’s joining the workforce, continuing their education, or both.
Message From The Director
“We believe that access to one-on-one career coaching will open the eyes of Mississippi high school students to the kinds of high-tech, high-skill jobs available right here at home. We’ve seen this model create a positive impact in communities across the state and believe that - with support from elected officials and members of business and industry - this program will continue to make that impact and grow it exponentially.”
- Courtney Taylor, Executive Director
