Enrollments are reported through the Course Choice Portal, with the current Funding for Internships Guidance attestation also required. The controlling LDOE materials should govern final enrollment and submission requirements.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 86/100. Strong Louisiana school/workforce funding fit with explicit per-enrollment support for internship-program delivery costs. N9+ Fit Score 0/100 because the current LDOE guidance does not establish a clinical-device or telehealth-equipment funding pathway. Dr. Miltie direct-applicant fit 0/100; this funding is routed through the education/work-based-learning process.
The Louisiana Department of Education currently provides fall and spring funding for students enrolled in approved internships. Funding is available at $1,000 per eligible enrollment and may be used to support costs associated with delivering internship programming to students.
Enrollments must be reported in the Course Choice Portal using the spreadsheet provided in the Documents tab, and the required Funding for Internships Guidance attestation must be submitted through LDOE’s stated process. The fall reporting deadline is October 23, 2026. LDOE states that enrollments needing to be added after the system closes may still be submitted through its specified process up to the fall deadline. The controlling page does not publish a closing clock time or time zone.
Because requests have increased this school year, LDOE states that eligible enrollments will be funded in the order they are successfully uploaded. Schools and systems should use the current LDOE Work-Based Learning page, Course Choice Portal materials, and current attestation as the controlling requirements.
