Manufacturing group partners with Louisiana community colleges
The Manufacturing Extension Partnership of Louisiana announced an enhanced integration and branding initiative with Louisiana’s Community and Technical College System. LCTCS began hosting the group in 2016 and has developed an expanded integration bringing comprehensive, proven solutions to Louisiana manufacturers on a local level.
Through the years, manufacturing group has developed a wide range of services and initiatives to enable manufacturers to identify opportunities that will accelerate and strengthen growth and competitiveness in the global marketplace. Now, more than half of the community colleges serve as a local MEP center.
The announcement includes the unveiling of a new logo and brand identity for MEP of LA, which incorporates elements of the LCTCS brand. The logo rebrand symbolizes this new and successful working relationship in support of the manufacturing industry across our state.
Manufacturers who are interested in manufacturing group services should contact (337) 394-2763 to be put in touch with a local college region MEP representative.
