PepsiCo Scholarship Recipients Tour the PepsiCo Warehouse in Livingston, LA

November 11, 2024

Fourteen Delgado students - all PepsiCo Uplift Scholarship recipients—toured PepsiCo’s warehouse in Livingston, LA on November 6, 2024.

The tour provided students a bird's-eye view into the day-to-day operations of the PepsiCo distribution center. Students were able to connect with management, ask questions, and see floor employees in action.

The field trip helped bridge the gap between classroom learning and career preparation. The PepsiCo Uplift Scholarship program plans to continue offering career tours in the spring and other opportunities for students to engage with industry leaders.
