At the National Automobile Dealers Association Show 2023 in Dallas, officials from NADA, National Urban League, and Urban League of Louisiana <\/span>announced the upcoming launch of a pilot service technician apprenticeship program<\/a> in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This program will place aspiring technicians into apprenticeship roles in local Louisiana dealerships. Up to 20 candidates will be selected by the Urban League of Louisiana and will start with the League\u2019s four-week professional and life skills training program in February. They will then be placed with participating dealerships where they will shadow dealership employees while they are taking technician classes in automotive technology programs at either Baton Rouge Community College or Delgado Community College. The best part is each apprentice will learn while they earn.<\/span><\/div>\n

At D.C. Mardi Gras in Washington D.C., the Urban League of Louisiana was proud to co-host the inaugural Louisiana Black Leadership Forum and Reception Honoring Congressman Troy Carter with the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus and Louisiana Chamber of Commerce Foundation. The presenting sponsors were Amazon and AT&T Louisiana. The forum helped bring together black and minority leaders from Louisiana to network, share impactful initiatives, opportunities and threats to advancing economic, civic and political power in our state. The Urban League will now take these opportunities from D.C. Mardi Gras to deepen our collaboration and partnerships in making an impact in Louisiana.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
