Louisiana Redesigns Workforce System | Baton Rouge News

Louisiana is revolutionizing workforce development by consolidating its 15 local boards into one statewide system, approved by the U.S. Department of Labor, with full rollout set for June 2028. Governor Jeff Landry and Workforce Secretary Susana Schowen are driving this change to cut red tape, boost funding for job training, and ensure equitable access across the state. A Transition Advisory Team and Regional Councils will preserve local input while a phased rollout keeps services running. Louisiana commits to directing at least 60% of federal funds toward direct support like training, childcare, and transportation — all aimed at getting people hired and staying employed.
