Career and Postsecondary Readiness

Through Career Readiness programs, Cenla residents are given the opportunity and support to earn a credential or degree that will put them in a position for a rewarding job that offers a good quality of life. 

The various Career Readiness programs implemented through The Orchard Foundation focus on achieving career and postsecondary success through implementation of counseling, credential and advance credit programs. In addition, Orchard offers several programs for teachers to learn how to translate the skills needed in today's workforce into their classrooms.
