Episode Details

Louisiana’s losing a ton of brainpower—40% of people leaving the state hold college degrees. Students are fed up, saying jobs just aren’t there. To fix it, educators are launching the Career Alignment Dashboard, a digital roadmap guiding students from freshman year to job placement right in Louisiana. Shocked by the scale of talent drain, officials are using this tool to show majors, salaries, and local opportunities—rolling it out in January with over 200 companies already signed on. Plus, they’re eyeing a similar tool for high schoolers to steer them toward skilled trades, keeping talent home whether they go to college or dive into tech careers.
