Workforce Development

Acadiana's ability to develop a 21st century workforce will be a key determinant of our state's future economic success. Even as Louisiana's workforce expands, numerous reports have identified a skills gap in critical fields requiring postsecondary education. Closing Louisiana's skills gap requires targeted investments in workforce development, including strengthening our state's higher education institutions.

By leveraging existing postsecondary education assets in Acadiana, we can build a workforce pipeline capable of supporting high-growth sectors and cultivating a diversified economy.
