AI Summary
This bill requires the State Workforce Investment Board, working with the Office of Workforce Development and other educational and industry groups, to create a specific list of valuable, industry-recognized certifications for students in Mississippi's community and junior colleges. This list will help connect high school career training with college programs. Starting in fiscal year 2027, and if funding is available, the Mississippi Community College Board will give a $600 incentive grant to community colleges for each student who earns one of these approved certifications, ensuring no student is reimbursed twice for the same certification. If the total grant money needed exceeds the allocated funds, the per-student amount will be reduced proportionally, and any costs incurred in one fiscal year can be claimed in the next.
