Caminos
The UnidosUS Workforce Development team enables an ecosystem that supports Hispanic individuals in their journey to thrive in the workforce and achieve economic prosperity. Through this partnership, Dashers, job seekers, and other potential participants will have access to financial services through UnidosUS Affiliates implementing workforce development programs.
UnidosUS workforce development initiatives that are part of this partnership:
The Latinx @ Work (L@W)
The Latinx @ Work (L@W) initiative aims to provide individuals with digital literacy and job readiness skills needed for upward mobility in an increasingly digital workforce. Implemented since 2019, the cornerstone of the initiative is the contextualized curriculum that prepares individuals to access and apply for jobs online as they gain digital literacy. Over the last few decades, digital literacy proficiency has become one of the most important skills needed to succeed in the workforce, and through Latinx @ Work, UnidosUS strives to support programming that closes the digital literacy gap for the communities served.
The Latinx in Business (LIB)
The Latinx in Business (LIB) initiative is a training that prepares Latinos interested in upskilling or starting micro/small businesses by integrating contextualized digital literacy content for UnidosUS Affiliate programs that support small business development.
Latinx in Finance (LIF)
Latinx in Finance (LIF) is a bilingual banker training implemented by UnidosUS Affiliates and nonprofit partners. Launched in 2015, LIF’s goal is to improve pathways to employment for Latinx jobseekers in the commercial banking or finance industries. The cohort-based training utilizes our industry-recognized curriculum, Unidos in Banking, career activities, and job placement assistance.
