According to the Department of Labor, over the next 15 years more than two-thirds of America’s workforce will be Hispanic but less than one percent of that growth will be in management.

ACTION

In an effort to identify, inspire and prepare young Latinos and African Americans for a career in the entertainment industry with a mentoring component and a strong focus on sustainability, the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and Phase 3 worked in partnership with MTV Networks to place and partner 15 interns with the Hispanic Heritage Awards at the Kennedy Center production team. The ceremony was taped and later aired on NBC and Telemundo stations nationally as well as the Armed Forces Network. The effort, which was executed under the Foundation’s LOFT (Latinos On Fast Track) program, was tagged Action! and included young people of color from Los Angeles, New York, Virginia, Maryland, Dallas, and Washington, DC.
