To Better Careers
To ensure that New Orleans students develop the technical skills required to land high-wage, high-demand jobs, we partner with nine third-party training providers to help students earn employer-validated, industry-recognized credentials, which students earn only after completing a rigorous program of study in job-specific skills.
We help our training provider partners develop their curricula and then connect them with opportunities to teach these skills to students both in and out of schools.
YouthForce NOLA is also working with community colleges to expand dual enrollment opportunities for students and create greater connectivity to their programming.
We want our students prepared for future economic prosperity. This means they need to be equipped with the knowledge and the experience required to make well-informed decisions to break into careers of their choice. We support training providers in the following industries: business services, digital media and information technology, health sciences and skilled crafts.
