NEW ORLEANS CAREER CENTER RECEIVES SUPER BOWL LIX PHOTO SET
New Orleans, LA, Feb. 13, 2025 – As crews pack up in the wake of Super Bowl LIX, New Orleans Career Center (NOCC), the city’s flagship career and technical education (CTE) provider, received a surprise donation to its Treme campus: one of the Super Bowl LIX décor elements that popped up throughout the city prior to Sunday’s game. The fan photo opp display, modeled on New Orleans’ colorful porches, had been in Jackson Square as a complement to the stunning visuals projected onto St. Louis Cathedral.
The set now lives in NOCC's Collaborative Courtyard, where trainees in the building trades and other disciplines come together to train in true-to-life working conditions.
NOCC, which sits at the epicenter of workforce development in New Orleans, was recognized by and involved in numerous pre-Super Bowl initiatives. NOCC received a grant from the Impact 59 Powered by Entergy initiative. Trainees from NOCC’s Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management program cooked and served participants during the “Taste of the NFL.” At Second Harvest, NOCC staffers packed unopened food and drinks recovered from Super Bowl events. And NOCC Building Trades trainees and staff mixed and mingled with NFL players, coaches, owners, and sports media at the Super Bowl Breakfast.
