MORE THAN A RIBBON CUTTING: A New Chapter for New Orleans
Unitech Training Academy officially celebrated the opening of its new New Orleans campus last week with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by students, employees, community leaders, employer partners, elected officials, and members of the Jefferson Chamber.
The event marked an exciting new chapter for the campus, which recently relocated to a modern learning environment designed to better serve students preparing for careers in healthcare.
“Today’s ribbon cutting represents our renewed commitment and investment in the Greater New Orleans Area,” said Dr. Noah Brandon, President of Unitech Training Academy. ” And most importantly, it represents the students who walk through these doors every day with the goal of building a better future for themselves and their families.”
The celebration featured remarks from Dr. Brandon, student speaker Carimar Jimenez, community partners, and newly appointed Campus President Terell Briggs.
Jimenez, a Medical Assistant student, shared how her education at Unitech is preparing her for a career in healthcare and her long-term goal of becoming a registered nurse.
“Choosing Unitech was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made,” Jimenez said. “I’m thankful that Unitech has helped me take the first step toward my future.”
During his remarks, Dr. Brandon recognized the dedication of the campus faculty and staff, whose commitment to student success continues to make a difference in the lives of students and graduates throughout the Greater New Orleans area.
He also officially welcomed Terell Briggs as Campus President, noting his extensive leadership experience and passion for student success.
The celebration also comes on the heels of another milestone for the campus. Earlier this summer, Unitech’s New Orleans campus earned gold in the Higher Education category of the Best of Jefferson community choice awards, recognizing the campus’ commitment to student success and workforce development.
“That recognition is meaningful because it reflects the confidence this community has placed in our campus. It speaks to the hard work of our employees, the success of our graduates, and the impact our students continue to make throughout the region,” Brandon said.
He also gave special thanks to building owners, Robertson Street Ventures, and the management team at Commercial Brokers Property Management, for having the facility ready on move in day.
Following the ceremony, guests toured the new campus, met with employees and students, and enjoyed refreshments while exploring the learning spaces that will prepare future healthcare professionals for careers across the region.
Unitech Training Academy offers career-focused training designed to prepare students for in-demand careers through hands-on instruction and personalized support. The New Orleans campus offers programs in EKG/Phlebotomy Technician, Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician.
