Summary

The project Pescar is a network of Educational Centers that operate in different companies providing labor-training to teenagers with a low-income status.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

Pescar is a network of Educational Centers that operates in different companies. These Centers provide a labor-training course where teenagers, with a low-income status, receive professional and personalized education in order to include them in society and facilitate their entry into the labor market. Pescar’s goal is to promote complete personal development of its students, encouraging them to acquire new habits, attitudes, and exercise their citizenship.

How will this project solve this problem?

Through our pedagogic activities we provide teenagers the possibility to make good use of their free time and avoid alcohol, drugs or crime. Also, the program provides to the benefiaciary the possibility of a job in a local company.

Potential Long Term Impact

Pescar will give to the students the opportunity to learn skills and abilities to develop a profession in the different sectors of industry. With these training, students with a low income, are able to work in different and important industries.
