Toyota/Georgetown Diversity
Program Reaches Out to Hispanic/Latino Community Members |
 |
 |
|
 |
In its efforts to increase diversity and promote
the integration of diverse people into the community, Toyota Motor
Manufacturing of Kentucky, Inc., launched an employment program
targeting Hispanics and Latinos. These Hispanic Initiative Program
(HIP) participants received four hours of industrial training
and four hours of English as a Second Language education. Participants
are paid for their time in the six-month program and have the
opportunity for full-time employment at Toyota Georgetown pending
performance and available job openings. To date there have been
28 program graduates.
Thirty positions were available for the fall program and only
ten had been filled after months of seeking applicants. Adhawks
implemented targeted advertising in Spanish newspapers, radio
stations and events resulting in the last 20 positions filling
by September 1 only two weeks after the campaign launch.
