Workforce Wake-Up: Connecting Classrooms to Careers
Fueling the talent pipeline with collaboration and career-ready solutions.
Louisiana employers know the challenge: too many jobs, not enough skilled talent. Too many students leave high school without the real-world business skills needed to succeed.
That’s why the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and College Board are launching a game-changing new Advanced Placement course—AP Business Principles/Personal Finance—to give high school students a head start in business, personal finance, and career readiness.
This new AP course is part of the Preparing Tomorrow’s Workforce initiative, equipping students with the tools to thrive—whether they’re headed to college, technical school, or straight into the workforce.
Join us for a brief, informative breakfast session to explore how a new Advanced Placement (AP) Business Principles and Personal Finance course can help bridge the gap between high school classrooms and Louisiana’s workforce needs. Connect with fellow employers, education leaders and policymakers to learn how this initiative equips students with practical, career-ready skills—and how you can play a role in shaping the future talent pipeline.
