We’re proud to announce the DSC Works Youth Career Awareness Bootcamp, a two-week hands-on career exploration program for young people ages 15–18.

July 13–24, 2026
Jackson, Mississippi
Only 10 spots available

Students will get real exposure to careers in Automotive, Technology, Construction, and Transportation — led by working professionals, right here in Mississippi.

Mississippi ranks last in the nation for workforce participation. We believe lasting change starts before adulthood — when young people can see what’s possible and build a path toward it.

Applications are open now. Spots fill fast.
👉 Apply at dscworks.com/bootcamp-2026

This is a rare opportunity for young Mississippians to step inside real industries, meet professionals who built careers right here at home, and walk away with a clearer sense of direction — before they ever have to choose a path on their own. Space is intentionally limited to 10 students so every participant gets meaningful, personal attention.

Want to invest in Mississippi’s next generation? Your support helps us grow this program and reach more students.

💛 $250 — Student Sponsor
💛 $100 — Daily Lunch Sponsor

**Mississippi ranks last in the nation for workforce. We're working to change that — starting with our young people.**

At Dependable Source Corp Center for Community & Workforce Development (DSC), our mission is to build a stronger, more connected workforce across Mississippi by opening doors to opportunity in the communities that need it most. With our state's labor force participation rate sitting around 55% — the lowest in the country — we believe lasting change starts before adulthood. It starts with showing young people that real, well-paying careers are within their reach, right here at home.

That's why we created the **DSC Works Youth Career Awareness Bootcamp**.

Youth workforce development isn't a nice-to-have — it's essential. When a 16-year-old gets hands-on exposure to automotive, technology, construction, and transportation careers, they stop wondering "what's out there for me?" and start building a path. Early exposure shapes confidence, sparks ambition, and keeps Mississippi's talent — and future — in Mississippi.

This summer, **limited ages 15–18** will get that chance, completely free:

**Automotive
**Technology
**Construction
**Transportation

July 13–24, 2026
Jackson, MS
FREE

We're investing in the next generation because a thriving workforce is built one young person at a time. Help us spread the word, and let's raise Mississippi's participation rate together.
