Gov. John Bel Edwards on Monday kicked off a $7.9 million project to fix up a north Baton Rouge vocational technical facility with the goal of better teaching industrial crafts for waiting jobs.
Walls will be removed and equipment installed at the Baton Rouge Community College Acadian Campus to upgrade instruction in welding, pipefitting, electrical and instrumentation, culinary arts, healthcare and other skill crafts. The plans also calls for Baton Rouge high school students, particularly those at Istrouma High School next door, to take the courses as well.
“This is a substantial renovation project that will not only enable the BRCC Acadian Campus to expand its very successful training initiative, but also provide more opportunities for the community and the city,” Edwards told officials from ExxonMobil, Formosa Plastics, and other industrial companies seated in the campus atrium on North Acadian Thruway in a low income neighborhood.
