Apprenticeship Summit

Are you interested in creating an internship or apprenticeship program at your company? Following the passage of a new K-12 work-based learning accountability formula, Louisiana school systems are partnering with local businesses to provide valuable career experience to their students.

LABI and C100 are cohosting an Apprenticeship Summit to give businesses a “how-to” guide on welcoming students into the workplace. Join us as we hear from national experts, LDOE officials and local business leaders on building a successful apprenticeship program. Invest in Louisiana’s future workforce! Mark your calendar for January 6 from 9am to 1:30pm at the LABI Center for Free Enterprise.

LABI’s President & CEO Will Green and C100 CEO Adam Knapp recently sat down with LABI’s Director of Education and Workforce Development Mary Beth Hughes-Derrickson to discuss the importance of preparing students for the workforce with on-the-job training and how Louisiana can lead the way in career readiness.
