This new system is another way our administration is trying to take advantage of technology to keep our best and brightest in Louisiana. The latest census data show that 140,000 more people moved out of Louisiana in the 1990s than moved into the state. The new features on LDOL's Web site aggressively address this issue of out-migration. At the same time, employers in the state can post job openings and search through thousands of qualified applicant files in order to fill positions within their companies. In addition to helping college graduates find jobs in Louisiana, LDOL's new Web site services also show students which jobs are most demanded in the state, the salary ranges for those positions and the top projected careers over the next few years.
Employers also receive added benefits from the site.
They are given the opportunity to post their job openings and find qualified individuals in the state to fill positions, as well as obtain information on training grants for their workers, employer tax credits, workers' compensation and local labor market statistics. LDOL recently launched an aggressive outreach campaign through the help of college students at LSU who provided the agency with ideas on how to successfully target college graduates. Free career gear kits, door prizes and refreshments will also be available. Pleasant Hall is located on the corner of Highland and Dalrymple, next to the LSU Visitor's Center.
