EBR Workforce Development

JA Trades Day!

What a great day introducing middle school students from across EBR to the world of skilled trades! Students got a hands-on look at the many high-wage, high-demand career opportunities available right here in our region.

Exposure today = opportunities tomorrow!

⚡ Building Pathways to High-Wage, High-Demand Careers!

Today, we had the opportunity to meet with the MMR Electrical & Instrumentation team and give them a tour of our Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC)!

We had a great conversation about the incredible opportunities happening at CTEC and across our surrounding high schools—and how we can work together to create even more pathways for our students.

We are excited about this growing partnership and the opportunity to connect students with high-wage, high-demand careers in industrial crafts right here in the Capital Region.

Partnerships like this help students see what’s possible beyond the classroom while building a stronger pipeline between education and our local workforce.

What an incredible night at the Greater Baton Rouge Industry Alliance Awards Ceremony!

🎉 Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC) — Award of Excellence
🎉 Scotlandville Magnet High School — Merit Award

These awards represent so much more than recognition. They reflect the important work happening across EBR to prepare students with the skills, experiences, and industry connections they need to enter our regional workforce ready to succeed.

Our partnerships with business and industry are KEY to building a stronger Greater Baton Rouge community. When we invest in our students, strengthen our programs, and work alongside our industry partners, everyone wins.

We’re building pathways. We’re developing talent. We’re preparing the workforce of tomorrow. 💪🏽⚙️🎓

There’s NO looking back. Let’s go HIGHER! 🚀

🤝 COLLABORATION = MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS!

Today, we had the privilege of collaborating with Central Community School System, and one thing is clear: what’s good for students across the Greater Baton Rouge region is good for ALL of us. 💙

We’re excited to continue growing our Industrial Craft partnership and creating even more opportunities for our teachers to collaborate, share ideas, and strengthen programs across our region. 🛠️⚙️🔥

It was a GREAT day at CTEC—and I have a feeling this collaboration may have sparked a little friendly competition. 👀

🏆 Could a regional WELDING COMPETITION be coming? 🔥🧑‍🏭

I think so! Stay tuned… more to come!

When school systems collaborate, students win. 💪 EBR Career & Technical Education Center - CTEC Central High School
