Employment Equity

New Orleans Employment Equity

Strengthening a Workforce for the Future, Today

We focus on expanding access to better jobs – particularly in high-paying industries and high-demand sectors like green careers, technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and the environment. We do this through job mentorship, training and experience for individuals, and capacity-building to help organizations connect individuals to those career opportunities.

Navigating the Costs of Climate Change

Good-paying jobs present only one pathway to family economic security. In New Orleans and Louisiana, families also navigate the financial impact of climate change and environmental disasters. Our grants provide families with wraparound supports: assistance with transportation, dependable quality child care and financial literacy tools that are essential to building stability and wealth.
