Professionals with all levels of experience - along with high school, undergraduate and graduate students – are able to explore top-choice job opportunities with the potential to get hired on the spot. Attendees will also be able to benefit from incredible learning opportunities as the event offers professional development sessions, on-site career management services, and an abundance of networking events.

Academic Co-lead GMAC is a big supporter of the IGNITE initiative. "GMAC views IGNITE as an opportunity to build a bridge between talented Hispanic undergraduate students and the graduate business schools looking to recruit them," said Sabrina White, GMAC vice president, Market Development for the Americas.  "We know that a graduate management degree often leads to higher earnings, job satisfaction and personal fulfillment; and taking the GMAT® exam is a candidate's first step to achieving these results."

Attendees are also invited to the Career Management Center included in their registration fee where they can take advantage of a personal career boot camp to experience in-depth coaching, real-time resume editing, live interview practice and tips on how to present themselves to recruiters.

"NSHMBA does more than just give a space for Hispanic professionals to get a job," said Savino, "the organization wants to make sure that up-to and beyond an MBA the Hispanic community continues to grow and continues to build upon the strong foundation laid by leaders before me for those leaders who are only now just rising."
