It’s important to recognize the
It’s important to recognize the Latino community in the U.S. and its impact on the economy and its access to educational opportunity, says Mauricio Garcia, senior vice president of programs for UnidosUS – which is the “nation’s largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization.”
WorkingNation sat down with Garcia at JFF Horizons 2024 in Washington, D.C.
He says there needs to be greater access to learning digital skills. “Investments in digital skilling. We've seen some of them, we've seen federal government play a role in it. There's more that federal government can do.
“We know that this an area where employers, particularly big employers, have a big responsibility, whether it's Registered Apprenticeship programs that have the skilling component or other pre-apprenticeship programs – the collaboration, the sectoral partnerships, to be able to actually build that into the programming of a local community-based organization that may not have a registered apprenticeship program.”
