New Jersey City University and the Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey on Wednesday announced the formation of a strategic partnership, including the creation of a Hispanic Innovation Business Hub, that aims to strengthen educational and economic opportunities for Hispanic businesses and NJCU students.
At a time when diversity and DEI programs are under fire from the federal government, the five-year agreement aims to enhance collaboration on shared initiatives that promote workforce development and entrepreneurship.
The partnership includes several key initiatives, including:
- The development of joint educational programs focused on entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and digital skills;
- The establishment of internship opportunities connecting NJCU students with SHCCNJ member businesses;
- Collaboration on research and policy initiatives supporting Hispanic-owned and minority businesses;
- Access to NJCU facilities for SHCCNJ events and programming.
Carlos Medina, president of SHCCNJ said the idea is to be a partner for not just students but of businesses as well.
