HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOL UTION NO. 33
BY REPRESENTATIVE FREIBERG
A CONCURRENT RESOL UTION
To urge and request the Board of Regents, the Department of Revenue, the Louisiana
Workforce Commission, and the office of student financial assistance to work
collaboratively to develop a uniform way to track students who obtain jobs and
internships after graduating from Louisiana public postsecondary education
institutions.
WHEREAS, an educated, highly skilled, and professional workforce is critical to the
overall success of the state; however, there is concern that a significant percentage of
students are graduating in Louisiana and finding employment in other states; and
WHEREAS, data on how and where our best and brightest pursue careers after
postsecondary education is often unavailable; and
WHEREAS, coordination and collaboration on collecting data related to the success
of graduates in the Louisiana workforce would help public postsecondary education
institutions and employers develop policies and practices to retain Louisiana graduates in
Louisiana.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby
urge and request the Board of Regents, the Department of Revenue, the Louisiana Workforce
Commission, and the office of student financial assistance to work collaboratively to develop
a uniform way to track students who obtain jobs and internships in the state after graduating
from Louisiana public postsecondary education institutions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the agencies shall solicit information from
public postsecondary management boards regarding how information is currently collected
relative to two-year institution graduates, four-year institution graduates, and advanced
degree graduates and their internship and job placement rates after graduation; such
information shall include but not be limited to which agency is best fit for the collection of
such data.
