WHAT IT IS
WHY IT MATTERS
Top
Employers
Louisiana’s industrial sector is one of the state’s largest employers — offering high-paying, stable careers with real opportunities for advancement.
Two
Years
Most high-demand industrial careers begin with two years of technical training after high school — giving students a faster, more affordable path to a great career.
Local Opportunities
These aren’t jobs somewhere else. The plants, contractors, and training programs hiring right now are in students’ own communities — in the New Orleans and River Region.
