Business Seminar for the Youth
Preparing tomorrow's leaders Today!
The MA Latino Chamber of Commerce will hold its 3rd annual “Business Seminar for Youth” on April 21th-25rd from 9:00AM to 2:30 PM at 1655 Main Street Springfield, MA
Youth will learn the basics of banking, business, and ecommerce. The seminar provides a great opportunity for the youth to gather critical thinking skills that can be used in today’s competitive society.
The program will also feature “America Works” a Junior Achievement curriculum which highlights inventions past and presents. This is the third time we partner with Jennifer Connolly, Director of Junior Achievement.
“It is crucial we invest in our future, offering financial literacy programs to the Latino community particularly our children will have a longstanding positive outcome for all of us. As an emerging community, if we do not prepare our children to understand economics then we will perpetuate the economic disparity that exists in our community today. Junior Achievement has the mission and the tools for us to use to help our children become educated consumers and to take a lead in the economic revitalization of Springfield and Massachusetts,” said Carlos Gonzalez, President.
The Massachusetts Latino Chamber of Commerce is attempting to close the financial literacy gap between Hispanic and non-Hispanic youth.” Business owners participate as speakers and role models during the week seminar.
