The majority of Latino immigrants, despite a diverse demographic makeup, share an underlying common objective: to provide their children economic stability. So how do we ensure recent arrivals to the U.S. obtain the skills and support needed to achieve the American Dream?
With a commitment to expanded workforce development pathways, PODER ensures this aspiration for intergenerational, upward mobility is attainable. There are formidable barriers facing southwest side Latino immigrants.
PODER’s answer is a literacy + job skills + placement strategy that offers multiple pathways to learn English and gain marketable job skills while providing wrap-around support.
From a growing community partner network, with this approach, each graduate from PODER takes a step towards his or her own American Dream, which in turn results in a more just and prosperous Chicago for all.
