People without high school credentials have the potential to excel, but they often face unique barriers to increasing their educational attainment, accessing sustainable jobs, and earning living wages. The first hurdle is obtaining a high school credential and accessing postsecondary education. The Mississippi Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (MIBEST) initiative, a statewide workforce and economic development effort led by the Mississippi Community College Board, seeks to remove these obstacles so that students without high school credentials can access college and thrive at school and work. By providing academic, financial, and personal support, MIBEST enables participants to earn a high school credential while working toward certificates, degrees, and gainful employment in high-demand occupations. This fact sheet summarizes the results of Urban’s mixed-methods evaluation of MIBEST's implementation, outcomes, impact, and return on investment for students who started the program between January 2016 and December 2019.
