NAPLES, Fla., Oct. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —  It is not very common in this day and age, to see a business that just began ITS operations making an announcement that will donate up to 50 % of their profits.

How is it possible to survive in a competitive arena where most companies that are born here in the United States eventually fail in the first year of operations?

“The numbers are staggering. Out of the 38,000 companies that will be created this year, 75 % are destined to fail. Statistically it is a nightmare,” says Belen Rivera, a young entrepreneur of only 19 years of age who, has the idea to use a popular crowd funding website, to launch the first campaign of her dream project: TriOwl, Clothing with a Purpose.

“The guarantee of our sustained growth and impact in a competitive market such as the online clothing business are the customers themselves,” Belen emphasized. “Our commitment is to offer a combination of two key elements for the total satisfaction of our customers: first, a high quality product, and second, a purpose that seeks to solve a serious social problem, which will eventually affect the American society,” she concludes.

Business gurus agree that this century is highly influenced by the “millennial culture.” This young and vibrant culture is described by Karl Moore in an interesting article published by Forbes magazine: “The Millennials are constantly looking for a purpose in everything they do.” So if companies want to be successful in the market, they should keep this cultural aspect in mind.

“A purpose. This is what we believe the business vision of the third millennium should be,” says Alan Rivera, President & CEO and father of Belen, who is fully confident in the success of TriOwl, Clothing with a Purpose. “TriOwl combines the keys to this new competitive market: high quality of garments made with 100 % Peruvian Pima cotton (which is considered the best cotton in the world) and invite potential costumers to discover themselves in a common purpose, helping thousands of children living in miserable conditions to have a better life surrounded by love, health, education, and success,” says Alan.

What TriOwl sets since the beginning of this first campaign —apart from other companies that donate clothing or food to the poor— is an innovative and bold scale of donations of their own net profits, which ranges from 10 % to even 50 % of them. In this way, they plan to develop a larger project: to finance homes to save street orphans and extremely poor children in Latin America where they will be living in a house, with a father and a mother.

“They will have parents that love them. These are not orphanages, but real homes, so the children will no longer be orphans,” emphasizes Belen. “It is a kind of challenge: our donations grow as our sales grow, and that is where our customers will feel that their purchases have a clear purpose and a positive social impact,” says Alan.

This week TriOwl, Clothing with a Purpose, launched its campaign through kickstarter.com, where dozens of people have already started to pre-order one or more pieces of clothing made of 100 % Peruvian Pima cotton.

If success is on this company’s side, they will surely set a business trend to be followed in the near future.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Celebrating 20 years of building communities and partnerships as one of the largest membership and advocacy organizations for Latino-owned small businesses, The Latino Coalition (TLC) in conjunction with the Los Angeles Latino Chamber of Commerce (LALCC) held the Engine of America 2015 Small Business Summit on October 8th at the City Club Los Angeles.  

Attracting over 200 dynamic leaders, prominent executives and high-profile speakers, the groundbreaking breakout sessions focused on the areas of healthcare, technology, telecom, immigration, regulations and legal reform.  The day also encompassed informative and energizing panels showcasing the importance of small business to the overall economy and how to leverage entrepreneurial diversity for optimal opportunities.  Lastly, the event emphasized the Hispanic community’s influence in small business and provided attendees with a Business Matchmaking session to help grow businesses, access capital and seek new opportunities.

“It is imperative for the small business community to thrive,” said The Latino Coalition Chairman and former U.S. Small Business Administrator Hector Barreto.  “As the backbone of our economy, small businesses need a bold commitment to capital, capacity and contracts.  And the Engine of America 2015 Small Business Summit served as the opportunity for entrepreneurs to gain access to these necessities, as well as arm themselves with invaluable insight and resources to get ahead.”

Headlining the event was Dominic Ng, Chairman and CEO of East West Bank.  Ng not only shared insight on the significance of engaging the ever-growing Latino business community, he discussed the importance of bridging the financing gap between Asia and U.S. business owners in order to promote long-term success.

One of the event’s most important highlights honored the Founder of The Latino Coalition, Dr. Tirso del Junco with the organizations Leadership Award.  Dr. del Junco is living evidence of the power of hard work and the American Dream and his bold commitment to small business is the foundation of TLC.

“Dr. del Junco’s vision of championing small business is the essence of our organization.  His leadership and commitment to creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to thrive is inspirational.  And his enthusiasm for economic opportunity is a beacon for the Latino community and our country,” added Barreto.

Another significant deliverable during the summit was Chairman Barreto’s announcement of a new partnership through a Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with the Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce.  Digital solutions are essential in staying competitive in the ever-changing business environment of today.  This MOU welcomes the Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce into TLC’s national network of 80+ organizations working to enhance the overall business, economic and social development of small businesses. 

“With such a successful summit last week, I am looking forward to TLC’s robust schedule of events for 2016,” Barreto said.  “Washington’s Small Business Summit, the GOP Convention, the DNC Convention and the West Coast Summit will be great opportunities for the Hispanic business community to gather, network and advocate for Latino entrepreneurs to prosper and grow the U.S. economy.”

Georgetown University Research to Narrow College Information Gap for Hispanic Students

0

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — At a time when college majors, not degrees, determine earnings potential, the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (Georgetown Center) is empowering the growing Hispanic population with three publications translated into Spanish that include research on 137 different college majors and their earnings to prepare them for the nation’s competitive job market. The translation of these three publications on majors and earnings are also in commemoration of Hispanic Heritage Month.

“It’s your college major that matters the most in determining the economic value of your college degree,” said Anthony P. Carnevale, the Georgetown Center’s director. “More and more Hispanics are going to college, but most of them are not enrolling in the highest-paying majors. As the nation’s largest and fastest growing population, Hispanics need access to information on the relationship between college majors, fields of study and career pathways to maximize earnings potential.”

With the release of a report titled Hispanics: College Majors and Earnings focused on Hispanics, the Georgetown Center continues to provide analysis to help Hispanic students and families navigate the myriad majors that will define their career pathways.

The report’s research shows what percentage of Hispanics chose certain majors and details the most popular, the top majors based on median annual earnings and the lowest paying majors. International Business (22%) was the most popular major with earnings at $51,000 while Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Administration (6%) offered the highest median earnings at $90,000. The major with the lowest earnings for Hispanics is Early Childhood Education (7%) at $35,000.

The Economic Value of College Majors is another translated resource that uses Census data to analyze national wages for all college majors, including the wages of graduates who go on to earn advanced degrees. While this report does not provide Hispanic data, it includes national data that shows that college graduates earn $1 million more than high school graduates on average over their careers. Yet, college graduates with the highest-paying majors earn $3.4 million more than the lowest-paying majors.

A third resource available in Spanish that offers detailed major groups and their relationship to gender, race and ethnicity is What’s It Worth?: The Economic Value of College Majors, which was released in 2011. All three publications and related resources are available online in English at cew.georgetown.edu/hispanicmajors and Spanish at cew.georgetown.edu/carreraseingresos.

The Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce is an independent, nonprofit research and policy institute that studies the link between individual goals, education and training curricula, and career pathways. The Center is affiliated with the Georgetown McCourt School of Public Policy. For more information, visit: cew.georgetown.edu. Follow us on Twitter @GeorgetownCEW and on Facebook.

Jobaline

SEATTLE, Oct. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Jobaline Inc., the mobile and bilingual hourly jobs matching marketplace, launched a franchise discount and referral program to allow franchise owners to recruit faster and save up to 65 percent in recruitment costs, while staying focused on growing their business and customer base.

Jobaline

Over the last few months using Jobaline’s mobile recruitment optimized for hourly-workers, franchise customers have processed over 80,000 applications with Jobaline. By automating their candidate sourcing, pre-screening and tracking, customers hired 50 percent faster and collectively saved more than a half million dollars or 65 percent in job advertising and pre-screening costs. With this new program, in addition to special franchise pricing with discounts up to 20 percent, franchise owners are eligible to receive a bonus for each qualified franchise they refer.

As an example, Sandwich SC, a high volume multi franchise owner dba as Jimmy John’s, has automated its entire pre-screening process with Jobaline, which has allowed its store managers to focus more of their time on business objectives. The franchise leadership defined pre-screening questions and scoring criteria and made that available to all 29 of its locations. As a result, store managers simply need to select from the list of approved questions, and in less than two minutes, they are able to post a job and have that job distributed with one click across 100+ reputable job boards.

Whether it be a walk-in candidate to one of the stores or someone searching for jobs online using a phone or a PC, Jobaline automates candidate pre-screening, including contact information verification. The process is EEOC compliant, completely free of advertisements and the applicant contact information is never sold to third parties for marketing purposes.

“In this business, we experience a constant hiring cycle. When it comes to creating a cost effective solution that simplifies the pre-screening process and addresses our fast-paced hiring needs, Jobaline has fulfilled all expectations,” said Brian Baranski, Director of Operations at Sandwich SC. “By converting our once paper-based hiring process to one that is 100% paperless, Jobaline has enabled our store managers to save a tremendous amount of time that was previously spent on filing through piles of applications, and reallocate that time to focus on business operations.”

Franchise owners and managers can get started in less than 24 hours by contacting jobaline.com/franchise.
