Spark hosted its first Spanish-Language Developer Academy in September with a full class of ten participants. In partnership with the National Development Council (NDC), our participants were able to experience two weeks of real estate development basics including learning the development process as a whole, calculating project costs, and meeting local industry leaders through daily panels. 

This is Spark’s sixth cohort, but the first time the instruction has been solely in Spanish. It is even more special that our cohort was hosted during Hispanic Heritage Month! Special thanks to World Speaks for the daily contracted interpretation services. 

Here are the Fall 2023 Cohort participants: 

  1. Jessica Lopera
  2. Edelweiss Rothe
  3. Monica De Sousa
  4. Cruz Pedroza
  5. Rosa Ruiz
  6. Alejandra Centeno
  7. Adriana Dungan
  8. Annabel Garcia
  9. Dalia Quirino
  10. Julia Pascual

 

We invite you to join us for capstone presentations and pinning ceremony on Friday, October 6 at 1pm at The Hitch located at 7013 Dodge Street.
