Proud to be part of the #AffiliatesUnidos initiative, supporting the rapidly growing Latino workforce, projected to represent over 78% of new U.S. labor force entrants by 2030. Our recent San Antonio meeting highlighted key programs like BEAD and the CHIPS and Science Act, emphasizing our commitment to creating job opportunities through digital skills and apprenticeships. Together, we're building an inclusive economy. #UnidosUS
The Latino workforce is growing rapidly, projected to account for over 78% of new labor force entrants from 2020 to 2030. That’s why we hosted a conversation in San Antonio, TX, between our #AffiliatesUnidos and local and national leaders to address job creation and economic empowerment. Key speakers included Manny Lamarre, Deputy Assistant Secretary at U.S. Department of Labor; Emily Ruskin, Senior Policy Advisor at the CHIPS Office; and Luis Acuña, Regional Director of NTIA at U.S. Department of Commerce. They discussed the impact of programs like BEAD and the CHIPS and Science Act on job opportunities. To build an inclusive economy, cross-sector partnerships and collaboration are crucial. We remain committed to enhancing job opportunities and addressing community needs by developing digital skills and leveraging apprenticeships. #UnidosUS
