From student to chef… and now full circle. 👩‍🍳✨
CTEC students had an unforgettable experience visiting the Louisiana Culinary Institute, where our very own Chef Woods once walked as a student. This special field trip wasn’t just about touring a campus—it was about showing our students exactly where passion met purpose.
Chef Woods shared her journey, reminding students that their dreams are possible with dedication, hard work, and the right opportunities. Experiences like this bring learning to life and inspire the next generation of culinary professionals.
Moments like these are what Workforce Development is all about—real-world exposure, meaningful connections, and pathways to success.

JROTC showed up and showed out!

Seniors from across the district spent their Saturdays investing in their future—earning Industry-Based Credentials and strengthening their resumes. Along the way, they gained valuable, workforce-ready skills and even received a stipend for their hard work. Now that’s dedication paying off!



The Workforce Development Department supports Careers in Technical Education PK-12, the Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC), Internships, Business Partnerships, and JROTC. We work to ensure every student has a College and Career pathway that has prepared them for success when they graduate! Students may start their careers directly after high school, after vocational training, community college, or a 4+ year university!
