“(incredibly) Passionate, Purposeful, and Productive! That's how I would describe Dr. Cueto. I had observed her expertise in CTE and workforce development for a number of years when she was working with the Orange County Regional Consortium (OCRC) and North Orange County Regional Occupational Program; however, when she started her own firm EduWorkforce Partners, LLC, I jumped at the chance to collaborate on a programming focused on developing equitable CTE by engaging parents as partners. Dr. Cueto is the master of building strong strategic partnerships. As a result of her networking and outreach, EXP was able to build our presence in Orange County and collaborate with key partners such as Vital Link. I strongly recommend Dr. Kenia Hernandez Cueto for projects and programs that seek to build strategic workforce partnership with an equity lens.”

Though the support to educate, graduate, and retain students is a key component of Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) programs, some institutions may be unaware of the impact culturally competent academic advisors have on first-generation students. According to College Board Advocacy & Policy Center Report, “Limited research has been done to assess how well HSIs are serving their students, particularly their Latino populations”. By finding ways to promote collaboration from within or across institutions, HSI programs may solidify better ways to serve Latino students. Culturally competent academic advising can positively affect HSI programs of all types. -
