The Challenge
for CERT and the North Louisiana economy is
to attract, cultivate and retain brainpower
• This brainpower is most likely
going to come from within our
regional economy.
• According to the Southern
Technology Council:
–the odds of an individual taking a job
in-state are shown to increase more
than tenfold if the individual attends
college in the same state they went to
high school.

In the Knowledge Economy,
brainpower is everything,,,
$15,000
$20,000
$25,000
$30,000
$35,000
$40,000
15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45%
Percent of adults with
4 years of college or more
State per capita income
The higher the
proportion of college
graduates, the more
income a state
economy earns…

Austin provides a model for the
Shreveport-Bossier region to follow
No region in the past
few decades has
moved as quickly into
the top ranks of
technology regions as
Austin. The city
actively cultivated it
music scene as part of
its high tech strategy.
