Herndon, VA – Today, the American Latino Veterans Association (ALVA) announced that JPMorgan Chase is a “Patriot” level supporter and partner — the highest of the pre-defined ALVA sponsorship levels. The $40,000 contribution is aimed to enhance ALVA’s efforts to develop its programming focused on workforce development/job placement as well as entrepreneurship for the over 1.5 million Latino veterans in the country. JPMorgan Chase has had a representative on ALVA’s Advisory Council since its launch.

ALVA’s workforce development/job placement efforts have resulted in agreements with two major universities and will continue to bring on more corporate partners like JPMorgan Chase that will invite Latino Veterans to enter their job placement pipeline. ALVA will add JPMorgan Chase’s small business resources to its library of useful content for entrepreneurs.
