Meeting the demand for skilled workers will not happen automatically. Communities need to make it a priority.
As I look across Mississippi and see businesses growing and creating good-paying jobs, I am encouraged at the possibilities.

Unfortunately, employers across the state are facing a shortage of skilled workers.
