About BR Works
BR Works is an initiative of the Baton Rouge Area Chamber (BRAC), powered by Cox Communications. We connect job seekers in the Baton Rouge Area with local businesses seeking talent.
BRAC began BR Works in 2020 in response to drastic changes to the jobs landscape amid the COVID-19 pandemic. While some companies were forced to turn to layoffs and furloughs, other industry sectors rapidly increased hiring to meet growing demand. BRAC established BR Works in 2020 to help laid-off community members find new career opportunities.
What began as a single webpage with a brief list of job opportunities has become a full-scale job, training and resource hub for employers and job seekers across the Capital Region.
Whether you’re looking for a new job, your next great hire or information on how to take your career or business to the next level, BR Works is here to help.
The BR Works initiative serves as a one-stop shop for regional job seekers and as a crucial tool in ensuring that the region's higher education curriculum is aligned to the skills local employers are seeking. BR Works has been supported by Capital One, Capitol City Produce, and Cox Communications.
