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.
