MPB will host our second American Graduate Counselors Luncheon on November 15, 2019. This luncheon is part of our American Graduate: Getting to Work initiative. Our focus is to help bridge the gap between education and careers in Mississippi which will result in successful employment. MPB has produced content that can assist school counselors when they are working with students making college and career decisions. We would like to invite you to an informational luncheon at MPB where we will share this information. Please use the link below to register.
