For this first quarter Hispanics Learn has created a 21st Century Workforce Curriculum that allows for basic knowledge skills like English, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Mathematics, Government/Economics, Humanities/Arts, and History/Geography to be infused with applied skills like Critical Thinking/Problem Solving, Oral Communications, Written Communications, Diversity, IT Application, Leadership, Creativity/Innovation, Lifelong Learning/Self-Direction and Professionalism/Work Ethic.

Digital anything or social media were words unknown to my life and vocabulary. I had absolutely no background with the internet, texting, websites, blogging, tweeting, facebooking, or anything. I was accustomed to fighting tooth and nail when I was forced by the company I was working with at the time to get a cell phone.

It has been a little over two months that I have logged in and written on this blog. To my few readers I would like to say I’m sorry. A lot has gone on outside of the company and I am glad to say it has all been handled. Hispanics Learn is now a campaign for my newest venture, Quezada Empire Group.  I am still going to keep the site up and active of course and it will serve as a informational site for bilingual computer education and the home of my newest project which is a latino workforce curriculum.

Hispanics Learn is excited to announce their first project leading into 2010. Chispa Magazine is going to be a print/digital magazine for latinos ages 18-21. The magazine will cover the emerging latino generation with highlighting significant sparks in industries such as business, technology, education, personal/profession development, art and music. Beginning in January, Hispanics Learn will launch a Chispa magazine webpage and contests to be included in the magazine.

My business coach Shonika and I had an opportunity to get a ticket to the premiere of Ten9Eight. The movie follows the journey of teens from low income neighborhoods enrolled in the NFTE Program at their public high school who are competing to win a chance to the National Business Plan Competition (NYC) and a $10,000 Grand Prize.

As a teenager I enjoyed the movie but something was missing. Maybe it was the fact that it was just about the competition and the kids in it but overall it was cool to see NFTE’s focus on the teens.

Hispanics SMB provides:

TuTube, sees to be the name given to the agreement by a New York Times reporter. I’m actually happy this has happened because you’ll see a jump in media use by Latinos. YouTube said this about that the agreement is, “…one of its most comprehensive agreements for TV content.” (Latino milestone right there!) This means that YouTube will be streaming content from Univsion, Galavision, and Telefutura.

“Over the next 10 years, Hispanic businesses will constitute the largest segment of all of the U.S. businesses. Their rate of growth is projected to be almost three times that of overall U.S. firms. That is why we have come together, for our member businesses to understand the different technologies and applications which will help them be successful.” said Jose Marquez, National President of LISTA “In the upcoming year we will be offering hands-on workshops and seminars on e-commerce and online tools for Hispanic businesses throughout the country.

Before the week ended I wanted to share with you guys a little bit about a company called USHYEE or the US Hispanic Youth Entrepreneur Education. USHYEE’s mission is to address the high drop out rates of Hispanic youth and introduce entrepreneurship as a career option. How they achieve this mission is by using concepts taught in entrepreneurship to bridge the high school to college continuum in the minds of Hispanic youth.
