Port NOLA's 'Learning Toolbox'

NEW ORLEANS - The Port of New Orleans launched its digital Learning Toolbox on March 25 that’s aimed at educating Louisiana students about how the local maritime industry, and the Port, plays in everyday life. Students, parents and educators can explore the Port’s four lines of businesses, learn about potential careers, and the maritime industry. Port NOLA’s toolbox launches at a crucial time during the COVID-19 pandemic and the state’s stay-at-home mandate. Educators and parents can use the Toolbox’s resources to share and access information. During this crisis, Port NOLA and its maritime partners continue to do its part as a “vital link in the global supply chain” that is essential for regional communities, said Brandy D. Christian, president/CEO of the port. The online resource supports the goal of providing students with access to information about Mississippi River, and as the port’s workforce development initiatives.
