Mississippi Integrated Basic Education & Skills Training (MIBEST)
The Mississippi Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (MIBEST) program is a workforce and economic development initiative that moves low-skilled, non-credentialed Mississippians from the economic sidelines into careers earning family-sustaining wages. The program prioritizes individuals who did not complete a traditional high school degree, those in low-wage jobs, and other non-traditional students. MIBEST seeks to increase the number of these students who are able to secure jobs with a livable wage.
MIBEST offers a range of career pathways that give you the skills you need to secure a job in an in-demand field. MIBEST students complete programs such as welding, business office technology, commercial truck driving, certified nursing assistant, industrial maintenance, and more.
Mississippi’s 15 community colleges have MIBEST team members who can help you enroll in the program and find the career path that is right for you. Use the interactive map below to find a contact at a community college in your area.
