Hispanics and Latinos; (ii) how to promote career pathways for in-
demand jobs for Hispanic and Latino students, including registered
apprenticeships, internships, fellowships, mentorships, and work-based

institutions, such as Hispanic-serving Institutions, to equitably serve
Hispanic and Latino students and increase the participation of Hispanic

Hispanic community in the programs of the Department and other
agencies; (iv) how to increase public awareness of and generate
solutions for the educational and training challenges and equity
disparities that Hispanic and Latino students face and the causes of
these challenges; and (v) approaches to establish local and national
partnerships with public, private, philanthropic, and nonprofit
stakeholders to advance the mission and objectives of this order,
consistent with applicable law.
