Emprendedores 
​A FREE Bilingual Entrepreneurship Program

(Taught in Spanish)
 
Our nationally-recognized entrepreneurial training course, Emprendedores, plays host to both Spanish-speaking emerging entrepreneurs and established business owners with Level 1, 2 & 3 courses, running in 4 week alternating cohorts. This premier program’s inception in 2014 was the first of its kind in the state and still remains the most culturally-accessible and comprehensive entry to small business ownership for Spanish-speaking New Mexicans, many of whom are immigrants. We have served over 700 participants since the program’s inception, with an average retention rate of 80%. In addition to the entrepreneurial curriculum of the course, we provide students access to:

  • Digital Marketing and collateral creation
  • Financial statement and cash flow analysis
  • Business Plan development
  • Peer-to-peer mentoring and one-on-one consultation
Classes run in 4 week series every Wednesday evening from 6pm-8pm at the AHCC Campus.

Laurene Rodriguez

Hi! I'm Laurene Rodriguez. Born, raised, and educated in New Mexico, I love our great city and state. I'm a UNM graduate and a life-long student. After graduating with my EMBA and working in advertising for several years, I decided to start my own journey helping the small businesses in our city. I care deeply about the state of business at a local level. I desire to see local organizations and companies thrive, not just survive. I'm a girl for a passion with all things digital and my goal is to use this passion to help local businesses find their digital identities. From brand development to social media to digital advertising, my knowledge is ever increasing and I'm thrilled to share the future of digital marketing with the local business community of New Mexico.
