During the 2020 Legislative Session, Act 238 with provisions of R.S. 17:2925 was enacted by the Legislature to ensure students are provided information developed by the Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC) regarding the top twenty high-demand, high-wage jobs in the state and in the student’s region. A quick review of the new requirements are as follows:
Designated school personnel should demonstrate to a student how to access the information on the LWC”s website and provide a printed copy of the listing of the appropriate region’s top 20 high-demand, high-wage jobs to the student.
LDOE and each local school system board shall require each public middle school and high school under its jurisdiction to display the Louisiana Star Jobs link on its website.
