As a part of the National Innovation Hub for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility in Registered Apprenticeships powered by Jobs for the Future (JFF), UnidosUS plays a pivotal role in promoting the inclusion of Latino apprentices.

The WFD team leverages its robust partnerships with a broad network of nearly 300 community-based organizations (CBOs) and employers to raise awareness and boost participation in apprenticeships, connecting thousands of Latinos to career opportunities across the country.
