essional development. Though Latinos & Hispanics with MBAs had been the sole focus, 2015 marks the year in which NSHMBA/Prospanica extends its reach beyond the MBA community to Undergraduate and High School-level students. Prospanica realizes by building Hispanic talent from the ground up, they are empowering Latino & Hispanic business professionals to achieve their full educational, economic and social potential. Current trends depict that Latinos & Hispanics are the largest and fastest growing minority group, having the highest drop-out rate, and are severely underrepresented in professional employment. With Latinos & Hispanics expected to account for 60 percent of the U.S. populations growth between 2005 and 2050, Prospanica knows that Latino & Hispanic success in education and the labor market is of immediate and long-term importance to the nation’s economy.
