You don’t have to go into debt to build a great career.

While college costs keep rising and the average student is taking on thousands in debt, apprentices are getting paid to learn and earning up to $46,000 a year by year four.

There’s more than one path forward. And this one pays off from day one.

Apprenticeship applications are open now but spots are filling up quickly.

A big THANK YOU to Build Mississippi for serving as a Lunch & Learn sponsor for our BuildHER Construction Camp! 🔨💗

The campers enjoyed learning about the many programs and opportunities Build Mississippi provides across our state to help connect students and future workers to careers in construction.

They also put the girls' teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test with a fun challenge: build the tallest tower possible using only tape, spaghetti noodles, and a marshmallow! It was amazing to watch the creativity, communication, and collaboration on display.

Thank you for investing in the next generation of builders and leaders!

If you’re the type who notices the small details and likes to make things look right—consider a career as a painter. It’s hands-on work where you can learn a real skill and see the difference you make every day.

We were proud to spend time with students at USM’s summer camp last week, sharing more about careers in construction and the opportunities available right here in Mississippi.

Huge thanks to USM for hosting and to these students for bringing the energy, curiosity, and creativity.

Some people sit at a desk.
Some people run the machines that build everything you see.

Heavy equipment operators show up early, put in the work, and keep projects moving—one load at a time.

At the end of the day, the goal is simple: everyone gets home safe. National Safety Month is a reminder to look out for each other, speak up, and take the extra second - it matters more than you think.
