Jumpstart to Success

Jumpstart to Success is the Area Development Partnership’s interactive career-exploration experience built for 8th and 9th grade students across Greater Hattiesburg. This high-energy event connects students with local businesses, universities, and community colleges through hands-on activities that spark curiosity and get them excited about their future. The goal is simple: highlight the wide variety of industries and education pathways available in our region. Participating organizations set up interactive booths that let students see what professionals do in their day-to-day work, giving them a meaningful glimpse into real career paths and the many opportunities Greater Hattiesburg has to offer.

The event will take place on Tuesday, February 17 from 8AM to 1PM at The Center at Forrest County.
