NEW ORLEANS, LA., MARCH 31, 2015 — Today AT&T announced a $48,700 donation to the
Northshore Technical Community College to support scholarship awards to students studying in
programs related to industrial electronics.
“Southeast Louisiana offers companies many competitive advantages, including a qualified
workforce that community colleges continue to build programs around that will meet the skills
demands of the businesses expanding and moving into our region,” stated Senator Jack
Donahue. “For those students eligible for the scholarship awards and wanting to make serious
life changes in pursuing a new career, these specially designed programs are a tremendous
asset to both our residents and business community.”
"It is support from Senator Jack Donahue and our business partners that help our organization
continue to educate a strong workforce that, in turn, builds strong communities,” stated William
Wainwright, Chancellor of Northshore Technical Community College.

while anticipating future requirements. The Workforce Development Division offers non-credit
customized workforce training, industry certification programs and grant-funded programs, in

workforce or by designing a new program that will attract potential employees. The college also

development and training needs, giving priority to collaborative regional strategies for workforce
and economic development.
