Manufacturing Careers

Each year, Louisiana Central works with local industry and education partners to promote manufacturing careers during the month of October.  Various events and tours are conducted to showcase healthcare careers available in the 10-parish Louisiana Central region. 

Although many events are different this year, due to the pandemic, local partners have put together a full schedule of both onsite and virtual live events, in addition to providing digital information that can be shared with students.  High school teachers or other school leadership representatives should review the list below and make direct contact with the industry representatives listed to schedule events, tours, etc.    Please note this site will be updated as new information becomes available.
