Hundreds of job seekers, dozens of employers, and one powerful day of opportunity for the community! We know this job market is challenging and that is why this week, Hispanic Federation partnered with LaGuardia Community College's Center for Career & Professional Development and Casa de las Americas to host our annual Career Expo. This event connects community members with career pathways, professional development resources, and networking opportunities with top-tier employers from across New York City.

Attendees had the opportunity to receive professional headshots, resume support, and direct access to employers and service providers...all designed to help community members take the next steps towards a brighter and meaningful career!

We are so grateful to our partners, staff, volunteers, and all the job seekers who showed up ready to invest in their future!

In 2011, a devastating earthquake and tsunami struck Akiko Hirayama’s hometown in Japan while she was working at a hotel front desk. “Everything was shaking, and I couldn’t stand,” she recalled. “Later, a massive tsunami came. Houses, buildings—even people—were swallowed.” The experience changed her life. “I asked myself: if my life had ended, would I have regrets? The answer was yes.”

Determined to pursue her dream, she moved to New York City in 2017, spent five years learning English, and enrolled at LaGuardia Community College to study digital design. At 69, Hirayama is the oldest graduate in the Class of 2026.

“Taking classes here opened my eyes,” she said. “Now I have a dream. LaGuardia helped me find it.”
