In partnership with Meridian Community College, we are thrilled to launch Mississippi's first MEI Data Center Pathway Program.
This program was built for new-collar workers: the skilled technicians this industry needs who don't need a four-year degree to get there. 14 weeks. No experience required. Compass provided, full-tuition scholarships for the first cohort. In Texas, where the program started, graduates are in roles paying 30 to 50 percent above local median salaries.
These aren't just jobs. They're generational careers in an industry that isn't going anywhere, and the people of Meridian should benefit from the growth happening in their backyard.
Thank you, Meridian Community College, RK, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Vertiv, Allied Universal, Convergint, Rosendin, Rubicon Technical Services, Life at Salute and for supporting the inaugural MEI Pathway program launch and career fair this weekend. π
