The Hispanic Corporation (PHDC) has partnered with the Community College of Allegheny County to develop educational programs focused on entrepreneurship training and promoting access to employment for members of the Latino community in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas.
This program is part of PHDC’s Employment Program through the Career Opportunity Development initiative that focuses on providing our community with job opportunities and professional growth.
PHDC, in conjunction with the Community College of Allegheny County, already offers since January 2024 an English for Entrepreneurs course from PHDC’s Business Incubator that benefits about 40 members, who take English as a Second Language classes at PHDC’s offices in Beechview.
New course offerings to be developed to support the Hispanic Corporation’s clients include: Certified Nursing Assistant (in Spanish), Math for Trades (in English and Spanish); Food Safety (in English and Spanish); Baking and Baking (in English and Spanish).
Information sessions are also planned for Hispanic families about CCAC’s admissions process, financial aid and other bilingual programs such as Automotive Technology, Culinary Arts, Plumbing, Electrical, Construction, and Accounting.
With this partnership with the Community College of Allegheny County, the Hispanic Corporation reaffirms its commitment to the Latino community in Pittsburgh by developing educational programs that promote Hispanic workforce training in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
