Greater New Orleans Career Guide

Developed in partnership with Chevron, GNOCareerGuide.org will introduce students, parents, and educators to 130+ regional career options.

In partnership with Chevron, Greater New Orleans, Inc. announced the relaunch of the Greater New Orleans Career Guide, an online resource created for students, parents, and educators to explore over 130 high-demand, high-wage career opportunities in Southeast Louisiana and the education pathways to get there.

The GNO Career Guide provides information about needed skills, training opportunities, worker demand levels, average wages, and industry background. In addition, users interested in preparing for a chosen career are provided with certifications and degrees associated with each occupation and educational and training options in the region. This is the ultimate online guide for young students and adults unsure of their career options and the friends, family, and educators who help advise on these decisions.

As the region’s economy diversifies and the needs of employers have evolved, it is critical to connecting students with high-demand careers that need talent and the educational resources to become trained for them. Users will be able to explore these options by browsing through career profiles or taking a quiz that matches their skills and abilities with occupations found in the area. These findings can be saved to a user account to be reviewed later in their decision-making process. In addition to the career and education assets featured on the site, GNO Career Guide has cataloged valuable resources, such as career counseling and childcare services, that go hand in hand with career readiness. Easy access to these tools ensures that our community can access and unlock the professional opportunities available in the region.
