Developing the Hispanic community in Waterbury

Fostering quality of life for Hispanic families, the Hispanic Coalition of Greater Waterbury was part of the Waterbury Regional Chamber Job Fair, held on January 12th at the Courtyard by Marriott Waterbury, 63 Grand Street. During the event aimed at finding full-time and part-time employees, Lisa M. Ortega, Director of the DDS Program, and Monique Quintana, Director of Community Engagement, got to know the community and explained in detail both programs in a period of three hours to increase our brand awareness. At the same time, Tomas Olivo-Valentin, the Initiative Director of Riba Aspira Career Academy, provided translation services for all the people who needed it.

Like a large family, The Hispanic Coalition is committed to the progress and development of the Hispanic community in Waterbury.
