           Access and Achievement: Building Educational and Career Pathways for Latinos in Advanced Technology

            This report, from The Tomás Rivera Policy Institute (TRPI) and with support from the National Science Foundation, examined Latino access to and achievement in technical career paths.  The researchers, from TRPI, Rice University and the University of Illinois at Chicago, identified the obstacles to access and achievement, as well as the exemplary characteristics of post-secondary institutions that lead to increased rates of Latino enrollment and graduation in IT- related programs.

            The study finds persistent patterns of under-representation by Latinos, African-Americans, and women in the knowledge economy, despite projected data that the future workforce will be heavily comprised of these demographic groups.
