We're now Louisiana Works
Formerly known as the Louisiana Workforce Commission,
our agency has a new name and a renewed mission - to make Louisiana work for everyone.
While our name has changed, our commitment remains the same: connecting Louisiana's people and
businesses to the resources, training, and support they need to succeed.
