Dr. Norman Ruano’s work for the Institute for Workforce Education, a division of St. Augustine College, is not just a job; it’s fulfilling a lifelong passion. Dr. Ruano was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala, and lived there until his early teens when he and his family moved to Chicago during the civil war. Influenced by having college professors and activists in his family, Dr. Ruano developed a penchant for education and advocacy on others’ behalf at an early age.

“When I was a kid, my grandmother used to organize protests to help the poor,” Dr. Ruano said. “I saw firsthand her understanding of people’s condition and dedication to do something about it. I always had a sense that we needed to do something to help others.”

Along with activism, Dr. Ruano took his education seriously. He studied social sciences in college. He continued studying the subject, earning a Master Degree and later a Doctorate in Sociology, with Summa Cum Laude honors, from Loyola University Chicago.

Feeling the need to understand life in the private sector, he began his professional career in business sales and management, before joining the City Colleges of Chicago. Here, he managed the workforce operations of Harry S. Truman College and later founded the Workforce Institute, where he served as Vice President. Through his leadership, hundreds of businesses in Illinois and other states in the country received strategic consulting and training, as well as workforce training funding from government agencies. He focused on bringing education to the workplace and on the development of programs to support Latinos in higher education.

Because of his interest in higher education and commitment to promote the progress of Latinos, Dr. Ruano transitioned to St. Augustine College (a Latino college), where he’s worked as Vice President for Workforce Development for almost a decade.

At St. Augustine college, Dr. Ruano’s mission was to create a workplace development program from a private, non-profit college perspective, focusing on serving the Latino community of Chicago and the state of Illinois.

As a result, the Institute for Workforce Education (IWE) was created. This college division is dedicated to helping the Latino community advance in the workforce and classroom in many different ways.

For example, a lot of immigrant and U.S. born Latinos join the workforce right away with a particular skill set. Once technology changes, however, they need to get new training to stay competitive with the rest of the workforce and to get promoted.

IWE fills this void by working with companies and non-profit organizations to secure funding and provide customized training to their most valuable resource, their employees. IWE offers customized training to meet the needs of different industries and management training for people who are employed with larger organizations but need help gaining the skills that will help them move up.

Dr. Ruano and his team have found that the language barrier can be an obstacle for a lot of people who need the training. So while IWE teaches hundreds of courses in English, they also offer them in Spanish, and even some in Polish. The Institute also partners with business associations to develop training programs for its members, with the objective of improving their management, organizational and business generation skills.

Recognizing that green technologies yield a lot of job opportunities, IWE partners with the Hispanic American Construction Industry Association (HACIA) to provide training programs to Latino contractors. The contractors are taught practices related to green construction and prepare to obtain the required certifications.

“Our intent is to ensure that our Latino companies develop the latest skills with the latest technology and techniques so when they go into the marketplace, they’re able to be competitive and have an upper hand,” Dr. Ruano said.

IWE’s work has garnered the attention of other organizations—including some in Latin America. A group of workforce partners, sponsored by the Chilean Department of Labor, called and brought them to Santiago in order to certify instructors on how to use American-based workforce education models (more skills focused).

IWE has now taken the step of publishing its own workforce training materials. “That is something that is very dear to my heart because it’s not about just doing it once, it’s about repeating it in every corner of this country,” Dr. Ruano said, adding “We make those resources available to other institutions or organizations to help transform people’s lives.”

Dr. Ruano could have continued on a more lucrative career path in medical technology, but all of the money in the world could not buy the satisfaction he gets by helping others succeed trough workforce training and higher education.

“What gives me the greatest satisfaction is that I know the education and training we’re giving our people is making a difference for them, their families, and their community” Dr. Ruano concluded.

The rich are becoming richer—or at least are adding to their ranks. Between 2010 and 2016 the number of affluent consumers—i.e., U.S. adults with a household income of $250,000 or more—jumped from just over 7 million to slightly above 14 million Americans, an increase of 91%. Market research firm Packaged Facts published these findings in the recent report Affluent Consumers: Demographic Patterns and Spending Trends, 7th Edition.

"Although affluent consumers currently comprise just 6% of the adult population, they accounted for 44% of growth in the adult population during the 2010 through 2016 period," says David Sprinkle, research director, Packaged Facts.

Among the most important revelations found in the report is that the affluent consumer market segment has begun to reflect the ongoing change in the demographics of the American adult population as a whole. Namely, affluent multicultural households are on the rise and represent a growing opportunity. Packaged Facts' definition of multicultural consumers includes Hispanics, Asians, and African Americans, among other ethnic minorities. READ MORE AT PR NEWSWIRE

At the point when the recently enlisted individual should act as a component of a group that is as of now in a dynamic work process, it doesn’t have much effect regardless of whether the representative is experienced in advance. There are likewise circumstances in which an organization needs to contract individuals just to make an extra consideration of recourses to an officially existing work or venture. Under such a condition, a fresher is considered to concoct moderately more points of interest.

As indicated by William Almonte, being new to any sort of expert space, recently enrolled crisp gifts make and discover imaginative methods for doing a work or settling a basic circumstance. Then again, an a man imagining and nursing the experience he has gained from his past occupations, will clearly not attack finding any new line of way to deal with a given circumstance or issue. Besides, a fresher with crude ability is by and large considered to demonstrate more fiery, devoted and steadfast. They are more agreeable and are all the more ready to adjust to any sort of new circumstance when contrasted with the accomplished representatives.

At the point when a specific employment profile requires particular abilities and information and earlier expert experience of working in the concerned field, it is essential to search for experienced applicants. With regards to the topic of having previous handy information and presentation to a particular space or profession, the inclination of a selection representative ought to normally be slanted towards an accomplished hopeful. In such a condition, a crisp ability ought not be the main inclination of a business.

A hirer or selection representative needs a legitimate and thorough comprehension of the activity criteria and prerequisites of the association and additionally of the expert or scholastic profile of an individual competitor.

Frustration over the persistent gender wage gap and how to fix it have followed women in the workforce for decades.

As we enter into Hispanic Heritage month, a time to celebrate Latino culture, it is also a time to reflect on the Latino community as a whole.

This article offers a brief and helpful abridgment of a couple of practical measures which can be received so as to make remote correspondence generally easy and advantageous and to improve the cohesiveness, holding and coordination between the colleagues and the foreman of a remotely worked proficient group.

Set the procedure of procuring the correct individuals from the very beginning

The first and the most essential advance to develop a remote group is to employ the best reasonable and appropriately qualified to work in a joint effort with alternate individuals from the remote group. Dissimilar to a normal office mood where the laborer can be available physically, the workplace for the individuals from a basically associated group is obviously unique and all the more difficult, since, not every person is similarly gainful and cheerful to the errand of working separately from a removed place. Thinking about this factor, it is fitting to the hirers of a remote group to choose individuals who are enthusiastic about assuming the liability of working alone from a far off place, independently.

Ensure the individuals from a remote group has an unmistakable comprehension of the activity part

As William Almonte Mahwah puts it, working in a remote group setting, it is of enormous significance to guarantee that every single individual from the group has a reasonable and prominent comprehension or an extensive thought regarding the objectives, destinations and occupation duties of the concerned task. On occasion when the leader directs a web based meeting or video chat, it is to be dealt with that each part working for the group gets a reasonable opportunity to voice his or her worry, proficient or individual.

Correspondence openings ought to be made standard

Telephonic correspondence, messages and different methods of reaching each other ought to be made easy and helpful for the individuals from a for all intents and purposes associated group. It is a need that the colleagues are encouraged with the most recent and refreshed methods of correspondence, so they can easily connect with some other individual from the group whenever. Likewise the group captain or the higher experts ought to likewise be open to the remote group specialists.
