LSU Online & Continuing Education is offering a Career Change Scholarship to those displaced from their jobs due to COVID-19. The reskilling scholarship includes savings on specific non-credit online professional development certificates and MicroCred® programs that can provide high-value, in-demand skills to career changers immediately. Several MicroCred® programs are targeted to the information technology sector, which has outpaced overall job growth in the Capital Region since 2018. There is an average of over 600 regional openings in the field annually, with fewer than 250 regional annual completers, making it an attractive sector for those reskilling or pivoting to consider.
