Mississippi’s future starts with education and workforce readiness, and we need your voice at the table.
We’re excited to invite you to the Ascent to 55% Convening, a first-of-its-kind statewide event bringing together leaders in education, business, and community development.
📍 Jackson Convention Complex 📅 October 15–16, 2025
This two-day convening is part of the broader Ascent to 55% initiative, a statewide push to ensure that at least 55% of working-age Mississippians hold a postsecondary degree or credential by 2030. With fewer than half meeting that mark, the time to act is now.
Why attend?
You’ll hear from state and national experts, connect with changemakers across sectors, and dive into real solutions through keynotes, panels, and breakout sessions.
Topics include:
-
Building stronger employer-educator partnerships
-
Expanding access to credentials and training
-
Developing Mississippi’s talent pipeline for high-demand, high-wage jobs
Register today and be a part of this critical moment for Mississippi’s future!
