Career Pathways
Louisiana’s industrial sector is one of the state’s largest employers — offering high-paying, stable careers with real opportunities for advancement.
Two Years
Technical Training
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
Right Here in the Region
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.
*Participants must complete all three days to receive the $1,000 stipend.
