Louisiana’s Community and Technical Colleges

President
Louisiana Community & Technical College SystemChanging Lives, Creating Futures
The Louisiana Challenge
• One in five adults (aged 18-64) in Louisiana have not finished high school ranking us near the bottom in the U.S.
• The number one reason given by companies for not locating to Louisiana is a lack of a qualified workforce.
• At least 55% of all new jobs will require 1-2 years of specialized education and training. Yet, only 8% of our high school graduates go to community and technical colleges to develop the knowledge, skills and abilities required for these jobs.
• Meanwhile, every hour of every day, over two people who have attended college in Louisiana leave the state to pursue better opportunities.

Wednesday, January 28, 2009 The Times-Picayune
The mid-year budget cuts recently announced by Gov. Jindal hinted at some prioritization within state programs. The Louisiana Community and Technical College System was one of two key units spared from the cuts. It is a realization by our leaders that we must not stop progress in this key area of education and workforce development at a time when LCTCS has seen a significant enrollment increase.
