El Centro Hispano at Wake Tech’s Spanish-Language Open House

Our Economic Development Department was proud to participate in the Spanish-language Open House at Wake Tech Community College in Raleigh!

This inspiring event brought together students, families, and community leaders in an environment dedicated to learning and growth. It was a wonderful opportunity for our team to reconnect with participants who had been referred through our programs, to learn about their progress, and to encourage them as they continue building their educational and professional paths.

We also had the chance to meet with the incredible instructors who dedicate their time and expertise to guiding students toward success, and to share meaningful conversations with Maribel Madera García, Director of Community Outreach, and her dedicated Workforce Continuing Education team. Their leadership and commitment to fostering inclusion, skill-building, and opportunity are essential to strengthening the future of our community.

We are grateful to Wake Tech for welcoming us with open arms and for championing spaces where language access, inclusion, and professional development are at the center. Together, we can continue creating pathways for economic empowerment and long-term success for our Latino community.
