Workforce Wednesday Luncheons

MPB hosts Workforce Wednesday Luncheons every third Wednesday of each month. The goal of these luncheons is to connect with new partners and potential subjects for content, open dialogue and to keep informed about our state's direction with workforce development including mentoring programs, apprenticeships, work-based learning, and soft skills. These meetings will be held at Mississippi Public Broadcasting, 3825 Ridgewood Road, Jackson, MS, 39211.

The Workforce Wednesday for October will be a Resume' Building Workshop and the November Workforce Wednesday will be a Hiring Event. Register for those events below.
