Since its founding more than 25 years ago, Old Algiers Main Street Corporation has worked to improve the Old Algiers community. Its most recent project is #EquityRising, an equity-based program that offers skills and career training for 16–40-year-olds to provide them the opportunity to obtain well-paying jobs in high demand industries. It is geographically focused in the 70114 zip code to provide training and jobs to those residing in the Whitney, McDonogh and Algiers Point neighborhoods, and to support current and potential small businesses.
There is no cost for the training for qualified applicants, and students are paid a stipend while training.
As part of the #EquityRising initiative, Old Algiers Main Street Corporation has established two workforce training programs, with one being the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training to prepare participants for a career track in the medical field. The other program is focused on the film and television industry and prepares participants to take on roles in Costuming or Grip & Electric on film and television productions.
