Each month from January through May, the Career Immersion & Leadership Institute (CILI) hosts dynamic Immersion Workshops across key regions in Louisiana, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette.
These sessions bring together high-potential college students and emerging professionals with employers, industry leaders, and community organizations for hands-on learning, career exposure, and meaningful dialogue around workforce readiness.
Employers and organizations are invited to:
Share industry insights and career pathways
Engage directly with motivated, diverse talent
Participate in panels, workshops, or guest speaking opportunities
Build early relationships with future professionals
CILI Immersions are designed to create authentic connections between employers and fellows while highlighting real-world skills, leadership development, and career exploration.

CILI is proud to participate in GiveNOLA Day, a 24-hour giving event dedicated to supporting local nonprofits making an impact across our community.
This is your opportunity to directly support the development of Louisiana’s next generation of leaders.
Think back to being 20 years old—trying to navigate life, prepare for a career, and find opportunity with little to no guidance.
For many students across Louisiana, that challenge is real.
It’s not a lack of opportunity—it’s a lack of preparation and connection to those opportunities.
CILI exists to bridge that gap.
Since launching our first cohort in 2021, CILI has helped develop Louisiana’s talent pipeline by equipping students with the tools, mentorship, and access needed to succeed—while keeping that talent right here in our state.

Every contribution—no matter the size—makes a difference.
