In partnership with the East Baton Rouge School System, BRAC has created an internship program as a first step in its plan to increase the region’s young professional by 5%.
Currently the Capital Region experiences a negative net migration of young professionals, and BRAC believes this program will help businesses better connect with the future workforce by providing a work-based learning experience.
The interns are high-school seniors… enrolled at public high-schools throughout the parish. With the guidance of CEOs throughout the region, their curriculums have been enriched to build career awareness at an early age. Many are on course to accreditations in their fields of study.
See the one-sheet attachment below with additional information regarding this program.
