(HISPANIC TIMES COMMUNITY) - When you look at the numbers of Latinos in management positions the numbers represent a challenge, especially when Latinos represent 16% of the U.S. population and $1.3 trillion dollars in purchasing power. Additionally, research shows that only 1% of Latinos are CEOs in corporate America and less than 5% are in director level positions. So what can be done to change this? The answer involves learning how to position, develop and advance Latino leaders, which is precisely the work the Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement (HACE) has been doing for more than 25 years.
As a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of Latino professionals, HACE helps Latinos succeed in every phase of their careers by providing services to over 50,000 through education, access, and professional development. They have placed more than 25,000 Latinos in career fields related to accounting, marketing, healthcare, and finance, among others.
With just 300 Chicago-based members in 1982, today they have grown to 40,000 members nationwide, including 100 business partners that have participated in HACE career conferences in New York, Houston, and Chicago. HACE promotes Latino diversity through recruitment, retention and development programs in partnership with leading employers who build loyal relationships with Latino professionals.
