Over 600 GE Hispa nic employees from around the world gathered in Philadelphia for their annual conference to address the prevalent drop-out rate among Hispanic youth and the urgent need for mentors. The effort led by the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (GPHCC) Professional Mentoring Network program in partnership with General Electric (GE) Hispanic Forum hosted a day of service at Thomas A. Edison High School in north Philadelphia. GE professionals worked to motivate and encourage high school students to remain engaged in their studies, consider pursuing a college degree and realize their dreams for the future. Ninth and tenth grade students visited area universities together with GE professionals and learned about the opportunities available to them; the exposure to a college campus featured a Junior Achievement presentation and conversations about education and leadership. Professionals shared stories about their upbringing, background, and career by giving in-class presentations and held a college and career success pavilion that allowed twelfth graders to discuss resume writing, professional lifestyles, college applications, and mock interviews one on one with professionals.  To read the rest of the article in our newsletter, click here.
