    Today is a proud moment for Louisiana’s workforce system. I am honored to have been part of the grant team that helped develop and secure a $5.1 million award through the U.S. Department of Labor’s RESTART Initiative. Louisiana was selected as one of a limited number of states to receive this highly competitive funding opportunity, and I am grateful to have played a role in bringing this investment to our state. This award represents the power of collaboration and a shared commitment to creating pathways to opportunity. Through the partnership between Louisiana Works and the Louisiana Board of Regents, RESTART will expand access to career coaching, occupational training, work-based learning, supportive services, and employment opportunities for individuals returning from incarceration. What makes this accomplishment especially meaningful is the impact it will have on real people, families, communities, and employers across Louisiana. By connecting individuals with high-demand career pathways and Registered Apprenticeship opportunities, we are helping build a stronger workforce while creating second chances. I am thankful for the dedication and teamwork of everyone who contributed to this effort. This is what workforce development is all about: creating access, opening doors, and helping people achieve their potential. #LouisianaWorks #WorkforceDevelopment #RegisteredApprenticeship #RESTART #SecondChanceHiring #CareerPathways #Louisiana
