Work in Louisiana — in French

Louisiana is the only U.S. state where French is part of everyday life — in schools, culture, music, and community.

Through CODOFIL’s Job Board, explore employment opportunities with Louisiana businesses! This page gathers French-speaking job opportunities across Louisiana, in private education, tourism, and cultural sectors. You can apply to jobs that allow you to use French daily.

  • Do you need visa sponsorship? → Check out the International Teacher Program here.
  • Already authorized to work? → Keep scrolling!

 

📌 Important to know before applying

1. Work authorization is required
  • International candidates typically need a visa (often J-1)
  • Some programs include visa sponsorship, others do not
2. English is still used
  • Daily life in Louisiana is bilingual
  • Organizations may operate primarily in French, but English is present outside the classroom
3. Contracts vary
  • Duration, salary, and benefits depend on each position

Each job listing includes specific details.

💼 Who is this job board for?

This job board is designed primarily for Louisiana’s French-speaking community, including graduates of French immersion programs and bilingual professionals already based in the United States.

  • Teachers seeking private sector employment
  • Cultural and nonprofit professionals
  • Louisiana local or U.S.-based candidates
  • International candidates with existing work authorization
Due to issues with work visa sponsorship, all francophone candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. 
 

The opportunities listed here are provided by partner organizations. Please note that CODOFIL does not manage hiring or visa sponsorship for these positions.
