Louisiana retraining unemployed workers amid virus outbreak
December 20, 2020 GMT
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) Louisiana is on track to retrain 5,000 workers who lost their jobs during the coronavirus pandemic for other skilled positions by April, according to the state community college and technical system.
The effort from the Louisiana Community and Technical College System is called “ Reboot Your Career.” The training is being offered at all 12 of the state’s community and technical colleges, Southern University in Shreveport and LSU-Eunice.
“The purpose of this was to reskill those who are currently unemployed by COVID into jobs that are hiring in the current economy and will be hiring in the long term,” said Camille Conaway, senior vice president for policy and industry partnerships at the community college system.

NSU had 354 student COVID-19 cases, according to the Louisiana Department of Health. The school had a record enrollment of 11,447 students, meaning 3.1% of students had COVID-19.
