HB 1388:Baseline Analysis of Workforce Outcomes The main goal of this presentation is to discuss the findings of the mandated baseline analysis of workforce outcomes for students completing a CTE program through a Mississippi public community college. The workshop aims to provide attendees with a better understanding of how community college CTE programs align with industry and occupations that pay a family- sustaining wage, as well as the postsecondary and employment outcomes of CTE graduates. The workshop's practical application is crucial for workforce development in Mississippi. By aligning CTE programs with industry needs and occupations that pay a family-sustaining wage, Mississippi can improve its workforce's skills and knowledge, leading to economic growth and prosperity. Employers can benefit from a more qualified workforce, and students can benefit from CTE programs that provide them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen careers.
