Louisiana community to establish a
scholarship programme that provides
financial support for tuition and training, as
well as for services and technical support to
the unemployed and undereducated
population in a five-parish area.
This year, we provided 110

Skills
development
The Louisiana Small Business
Development Center at
McNeese State University’s
skills workshops, which we
support, reached more than
270 attendees.
One participant improved his life by
going from an employee at a
chiropractic office to owning his own
practice, while another with
automotive skills opened his own
used car service station. These skills
development workshops have
resulted in several businesses
growing and jobs being created.
