This Venture Global LNG program represents a collaboration with Nunez Community College, Plaquemines Parish Government, Plaquemines Parish School Board and Tri-Parish Works (Louisiana Workforce Commission). Additional funding is provided by a grant through the Louisiana Community & Technical College System.

Two free information sessions will be held on Jan. 13: 9-11 a.m. at the Plaquemines Government Complex Pavilion in Belle Chasse and 6-8 p.m. at the Plaquemines Learning Center in Port Sulphur.
