Center for Hispanic Leadership Ohio to Hold Inaugural Hispanic Workforce and Economic Development Summit OCHLA Aims to Boost Hispanic Entrepreneurs
Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) September 18, 2013 -- The goal of the one-day event is to offer entrepreneurs with leadership training as well as connect them with government and private business development opportunities. “As an expanding segment of the population, Hispanics in Ohio are in need of workforce and economic development to make an even greater contribution to Ohio’s economy,” says Rafi Rodriguez, CHL Ohio Chapter President. “We are focused on building strategic alliances with local market corporations to help their Hispanic talent bridge culture to enable higher levels of performance; thus cultivating innovation and initiative as part of Ohio’s economic engine.”
Many Hispanic business owners are faced with the inability to consistently create and sustain relationships with Fortune 500 corporations; thus they are not at the forefront of supplier diversity programs. Revenue generating and job creation opportunities are not being seized fast enough. To overcome this challenge, Hispanic entrepreneurs and business owners must learn how to become better leaders and, at the same time, better business operators in order to compete against non-Hispanic, mainstream businesses – as per the findings that were revealed in a 2012 survey conducted by McCombs School of Business, and the Kauffman Foundation.
As a result of attending the Summit, participants will benefit from:
• A highly interactive four-hour workshop that will help Hispanic entrepreneurs and business owners to become better leaders and business operators
• Information, tips, tools and resources to engage their business and access state government and private sectors opportunities to profitably grow and compete
• Access to CHL's online Certification Program: HispanicLeadershipAcademy.com
• Networking with successful Hispanics from across the state of Ohio
“With the increasing Hispanic population in Ohio, OCHLA aims to strengthen Hispanic businesses and professionals in order for them to further advance and be successful,” says Lilly Cavanaugh, OCHLA Director. “We are proud to partner with the CHL Ohio chapter to bring together the professional tools and training necessary to ensure greater economic wealth for Hispanics and the state.”
