BioInnovation & Health Services Specific Recommendations: Support programs like GNOF New Orleans Works to reduce turnover for medical assistants, apply model to other careers and industries Connect employers to appropriate training programs to identify new hires Encourage curriculum development in K-12 that preps students for jobs 11 Workforce Issues: Need for incumbent worker training Lack of coordination between industry, higher education, and workforce training institutions with curriculum and skills training Lack of local CEOs, researchers, and doctors

Creative Digital Media Specific Recommendations: Identify opportunities in higher education programs and K-12 curriculum to provide training to address workforce needs of local employers and create career pathways Support investments in technology training for all K-12 teachers and students to increase technical skills and opportunities for innovation 12 Workforce Issues: Lack of coordination between industry, higher education, and workforce training institutions with curriculum and skills training Lack of experienced, executive-level talent and programmers

Transportation, Trade & Logistics Specific Recommendations: Develop pre-apprenticeship program to connect youth with entry level jobs in maritime and transportation industries 13 Workforce Issues: Similar to overall workforce issues on previous slide
