Let’s celebrate the Latin community – Google

[ad_1]

In 2019, Google.org funded the Hispanic Federation to launch an accelerator to strengthen institutions serving the Latin community with workforce development and digital training programs. Today, they were doubling down with a $ 1 million reinvestment. Through this grant, the Hispanic Federation will enhance the capacity of Latin American-led and Latin-serving nonprofits, which in turn will provide career-aligned digital skills training to more than 6,000 Latinos over the next year. This builds on our ongoing commitment to the Latin community of the United States, which includes over $ 20 million in Google.org grants over the past five years to help create greater access to economic opportunity.

We are also expanding the Grow with Google Career Readiness program to reach Hispanic Service Institutes (HSIs). In partnership with the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), you provide a $ 2 million investment to more than 35 HSIs across the country. This funding will help HSIs train 200,000 Latino students by 2025 on digital skills that can help them build their careers.
