PHDC has partnered with the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters to develop a paid training program in Spanish for the Latino community.
The Hispanic Corporation will begin an 8-week pilot program in the spring of 2024. This is a long-term professional development opportunity consisting of 4 years of an educational program that also offers work experience.
Our employment program provides assistance to community members seeking employment due to relocation to Pittsburgh from another country, state or city. This initiative specializes in addressing the cross-cultural challenges that inhibit the ability of the Hispanic population in Pittsburgh to seek employment.
In recent months we have identified the arrival in Pittsburgh of numerous Hispanics who are skilled in a variety of occupations, but need to overcome the language barrier to pursue their professions.
This partnership between PHDC and the Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters offers Spanish language training to develop the skills of Hispanic participants, promoting their incorporation into the U.S. labor market.
