Sounding the Alarm!
Yes, there are reasons for us to be Alarmed as we continue to face an ever-changing workforce. But Alarms can be very beneficial in warning us, protecting us and getting our attention. All said, we are prepared more than ever at NOVA to provide the best workforce services possible to address the ever-changing workforce demands.
Paul WestExecutive Director
NOVA Workforce Institute of Northeast Louisiana
That is why at NOVA we are committed each day to providing “Hope, Help & Opportunity” to individual Career Seekers & Employers.
H2O is what we call it at NOVA:
HOPE- individuals needing to enter or re-enter the Workforce with a Skill, Career and Living Wage Job.
HELP- to receive the Education, Skills and Training necessary for a new Career Pathway.
OPPORTUNITY- opening Employer doors of opportunity to secure Living Wage employment.
Our Goal at NOVA is to provide H2O to each individual who comes through our doors and for Employers that we assist in providing a work-ready workforce.
As we continue to grow and expand to the demands and needs of workforce skills, there is a new generation of skilled workers, coupled with economic and educational challenges that will meet these demands. NOVA will continue to strive in helping one person at a time, one employer at a time by working with our Workforce and Educational / Training Partners.
Thank You Northeast Louisiana! With your continued Help, Prayers and Support, we hope to silence those alarms and to make them into success stories that are music to our ears and in turn create a work-ready workforce that will help “Grow the Economy of Northeast Louisiana by Strengthening our Workforce”.
Remaining Thankful, Grateful, and Hopeful!
Respectfully,
Paul E. West

"Being an employer who has been in the paper and plastic industries for some 40+ years, I have been concerned about the lack of a skilled workforce in the area of manufacturing in our community. NOVA is an organization that has made great strides in taking individuals who for whatever reason have taken the wrong path in life and need someone to give them guidance and vision in becoming a contributing source in the general workplace."
