In 5-8 years, we want the DNA of backstage to look different" "Being a minority in a workplace isn't new to me," said Aya- na Vail, an apprentice in year three of the program "It just hap- pens to be a fact of my life. Yes. (this isla male -dominated field. but I was able to have mentors who were all women and people of color so that makes me feel like this is possible." Vail came across the apprenticeship program after monthlong stint at Miami Light Project in technical theater, following a short- lived career in dance. She went from little technical theater ex- perience to a resume full of projects within the industry, thanks to Arsht. "Without expe- rience and without people, you can't really get jobs," she said, expressing grati- tude for how far she's come through the program. "1 feel really great about this grant the center is getting. 1 wouldn't want it to stop here because it would be a great dis- service since it has done a lot. Everything I've benefitred from, I want that for other People." Vail says she's cur- rently on her way into getting into stage management. She al- ready has two stage management gigs un- der her belt through networking. As the art world opens back up post COVID," said Bren- nan, "we know and hope that these are going be coveted employees that land permanent jobs out in the community." At Gang Alterna- tive, a similar career training and youth development pro- gram will also see an expansion because of Bank of America's fi- nancial support. "The grant funding that we received from Bank of America is going to be invested into our overall col- lege and career de- velopment program- ming, which is the marriage of positive youth development and workforce," said Icilda Humes, Gang Alternative chief of sub. "It will allow us to bridge the gap and do a better job of guiding our young people who are al- ready participating in v s us program" Operating rough- ly 30 programs out of Miami -Dade, Bro- ward and Palm Beach counties, the organi- zation currently has five programs related to workforce devel- opment, which in- clude programs for ex -offenders, women, veterans and one of- fered exclusively at correctional institu- tions. Humes says the funding will be in- strumental inoffer- ing resourcessuch as work readiness train- ing, skills training and entrepreneurship development. The goal is to increase college readiness op- portunities as well as technical avenues for people seeking work outside of the tradi- tional college educa- tion track. "What we recognize is that there is a lot of interest and a lot of potential (or the pop- ulations that we work in to be successful en- trepreneurs." she said. "We work with a lot of disadvantaged popu- lations who are very attuned to hustling. They're great busi- ness people because they've been raised in an environment that requires them to be strategic thinkers, so why not apply that skill to positive career opportunities?" The organization will see more indi- vidualized services, such as having college and career develop- ment specialists at schools to work with youth, and certified teachers and tutors to help with academ- ic enrichment in its after -school program. Other after -school activities will help youth identify career pathways based on their strengths, skill sets and talents. For example, those who are capable of work- ing with their hands, good with technol- ogy or animals will receive guidance in developing a career ladder to determine next steps. Ashley Cole, a sr nior program manag- erwho oversees the youth development component of Gang Alternative, was iden- tified as the leader to receive access to Bank of America leadership training resources that could help the or- ganization. "We've been serv- ing the community for over 15 years, so 1 really feel like having Students participate in an activity at Gang Alternative during Robotics camp. this partnership and support from Bank of America is going to help us serve the community and con- tinue to push our mis- sion forward," said Cole. "Gang Alternative and The Arsht Cen- ter Technical The- ater Apprenticeship Program are helping bridge important gaps and expand accessibil- ity for individuals and families to help them chart a path toward economic opportu- nity and stability," said Gene Schaefer, Bank of America's Miami market pres- ident.

THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA As the visitor industrystruggles to regain jobs lost to covid, proposed lifelines for the state's tourism - marketing agency are ready to go to the full Senate and House — but lawmakers still have to determine how longtheywill allow VisitFlorida to continue operating. With little comment, the Senate APpropriationsCommittee lastweek backed a proposal that woul d extend a repeal date for Visit Florida to Oct 1, 2031. The House version would extend Visit Florida to Oct 1, 2028. Under current law, the agency would have to stop operating Oct 1, 2023, if the "sunset" date is not extended. Lawmakers gave a three-year extension to the agency in 2020, just as the state was starting to feel the im- pacts of the comnavvus pandemic. Atthetime, supponerspointedtothe agency's ability to market the state amid negative media coverage of issues such as hurricanes, red tide, algae outbreaks and diseases. Now, supporterspraise the agency for its marketing efforts as the state reopened from the coronavirus pandemic. In the third quarter of last year, the most -recent available tourism numbers, the state attracted 32.517 million visitors, slightly higher than the number of visitors in the third quarter of2019 before the pandemi c began. The House version ofthe bill was approved 17-4 by the Commerce Committee last week. House leaders in the past ex- pressed skepticism about the need to spend tax dollars on marketing a state filled with natural attractions and such things as theme parks. Visit Florida is seeking S50 mil- lion in next year's state budget It received S80 million from the Leg- islature for the cement fiscal year, which included S30 million from federal stimulus programs. f 6A IDUII DIARIO LAS AMERICAS DEL VIERNES 4 AL JUEVES 10 DE FEBRERO DE 2022 •SOSNUESTRAAMtRICA: NICARAGUA Rusia, sin capacidad economica y militar para enviar tropas a Latinoamerica Analistas sostienen que las pretensiones del Kremlin de enviar tropas militares a Cuba y Venezuela son dudosas, nada creible.
