Mississippi Coding Academies is evolving into NeXT (Next-gen eXpertise in Technology)

Why the change? Because our mission has outgrown coding alone. NeXT represents a statewide, hybrid ecosystem of digital skills, workforce readiness, and innovation—designed to meet learners at every age and stage.

With five locations—Jackson, Biloxi, Columbus, Clarksdale, and Natchez—plus full online delivery, NeXT ensures Mississippians can access training no matter where they live. Learners can participate in person, virtually, or through hybrid options, making the program flexible and inclusive while preparing our communities for the digital economy of tomorrow.
