Turning undocumented Latino Students in US into entrepreneurs

Current immigration reform provisions ("dream act') might unlock the potential for undocumented Latino students to become candidates for permanent residency (visit our Blog Post of 5/23/07). Without this type of relief these students will continue without job opportunities that match their acquired knowledge, a significant potential loss to the individual student and the community.

HEY-OYE is exploring avenues to act on behalf of these students as "angel investor", and/or resource clearinghouse, to match students with entrepreneurial opportunities.  Possible scenarios would allow firms (US or international) interested in of outsourcing tasks to contract a "corporate entity" (LLC formed to contract services or a sole proprietorship Doing Business As an incorporated entity). The US based student would use IT solutions to deliver the work product taking advance of his/her access to university/community college research facilities, and the obvious advantage of being physically present to undertake grass root marketing efforts. A firm wishing to penetrate the rapidly expanding Latino market in the US would enjoy the benefit of "plugged in" young student, eager to compliment his academic work with "internship" in the product or service the "client firm" is launching.
