Louisiana’s New Path to Workforce Ready | New Orleans News
Description
Louisiana’s community colleges are launching a bold new charter school model that lets high schoolers earn workforce skills or even an associate’s degree while still in school—connecting them directly to employers through apprenticeships and paid internships. The plan also tackles adult learners’ biggest hurdles like cost, childcare, and transportation, with expanded funding and new support services. Plus, they’re ramping up technical training for incarcerated individuals to ensure everyone leaves with a high school equivalency or marketable skill—reducing recidivism and opening doors to real careers. This is education reimagined: job-ready from day one.
