The CollegeBound Network Offers New Resources for Spanish-Speaking Students

Spanish-Language portal increases access to education.

Staten Island, NY (PRWEB) September 6, 2007 -- Habla espanol? If you are a native Spanish speaker, you're part of the fastest-growing population group in the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It should come as no surprise, then, that between 2004 and 2015, enrollment in degree-granting institutions is projected to increase nearly 42 percent for students who are Hispanic, with enrollment moving from 1.8 million to 2.6 million, reports the National Center for Education Statistics. With its new Spanish-language portal (http://www.collegesurfing.com/clickcount.php?id=10425675&goto=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.collegebound.net%2Fspanish%2F), The CollegeBound Network is providing essential career education resources for the growing number of Latino students nationwide.

Through its unique zip code and program-specific search engine, the Spanish-language portal on CollegeBound.net enables students to explore education disciplines, such as criminal justice, culinary arts, education, and technology, via popular degree and certificate programs close to home.

"For 20 years, The CollegeBound Network has spoken the language of students and provided education resources in terms that they can understand and relate to," says Luciano Rammairone, CEO. "Customizing our career school search to Spanish-speaking users reflects our ongoing commitment to make education accessible to this growing segment of the nation's students."

Each month, more than 1.5 million surfers utilize The CollegeBound Network's resource sites, which include CollegeBound.net, CollegeSurfing.com, HolisticJunction.com, SpaBeautySchools.com, TopCareerSchools.com, Top10ComputerSchools.com, and others.
