FORGE proudly recognizes the incredible businesses, organizations, and Career & Technical Centers who are making the 6th Annual FORGE Your Path Career Expo possible.
More than 50 trade partners from across Mississippi have come together to create an unforgettable, hands-on experience for over 2,200 eighth-grade students. These partners are the heart of the Expo—providing students with the chance to explore construction and skilled trade careers through interactive activities, equipment demonstrations, and meaningful conversations with industry professionals.
From operating heavy equipment simulators and laying bricks to finishing concrete, exploring virtual reality construction sites, and sitting inside real bulldozers, students are gaining insight into the skills and teamwork that drive our communities forward.
We are deeply grateful to every trade partner for their time, energy, and commitment to inspiring the next generation of builders, creators, and innovators. Your participation helps students connect classroom learning to career possibilities and brings our shared vision of a stronger, more skilled Mississippi workforce to life.
Thank you for helping us #BuildTheFuture—one student at a time.
