Latino Entrepreneurs (Latinos at Work)

Latinos at Work: Career Role Models for Young Adults is a valuable vocational reference series and a must for all schools and libraries serving Hispanic youth. Each book begins with a description of many careers along with the education, talent, and experience necessary, salary ranges, and outlooks from a Latino perspective. Latino Entrepreneurs discusses the many ways to go about owning and running your own business. Part 1 discusses considerations for owning your own business, including the business plan, marketing plans, and personal assessments for determining if you would make a good entrepreneur. Part 2 presents profiles of success: interviews with successful Hispanics in many different careers with advice for young people who might want to pursue that career. In Latino Entrepreneurs profiles of such successful Latino entrepreneurs as salon owner Araceli Mendoza, artist John Leanos, author/consultant Dr. Mabel Tinjaca, and trucking company owner, Oscar Centeno are included. "Inspired" is an understatement of what you'll feel when reading these very personal portraits. Part 3 is a complete resource section filled with further reading of books, magazines, names and addresses of organizations to contact, and web addresses. Each highly usable volume contains a master index to all the careers listed in all volumes along with a master index to the people profiled in all volumes.
