A scholarship is equivalent to a formal job

Thanks to the generous donation received, five young people were selected to receive scholarships in the Youth Employment Skills Program, which is designed to equip young people with technology and job skills.

The results obtained are highly satisfactory. The five selected young people acquired valuable and applicable skills in the world of work, which has enabled them to compete and succeed. In addition to this, they were able to secure formal employment related to their training areas.

"They gave us motivational talks that help us to develop and get to know each other, they gave us a safe space to talk about how we are and what we want to be. We even learned the basics of the Office package, which helps me a lot, as they are necessary in any job. This program has been wonderful and I feel very grateful to all the teachers who have taught us, I have the tools to be a better person and enter the labor field more confidently," says Ramses, one of our scholarship recipients.

By giving these young people the opportunity to acquire valuable and applicable skills in the world of work, we have been able to empower them and make them self-sustaining members of society. In addition, this has allowed them to help their families cope with the country's difficult economic context and improve their quality of life.

18 young people were awarded scholarships

During the year 2022, social inequalities, the reduction of educational opportunities and the lack of interest in education on the part of young people have been a cause for concern in our Organization.

After a period of pandemic, schools are returning to the classroom, but the level of enrollment continues to decline. According to the 2022 National Survey on Living Conditions (ENCOVI), 1.5 million children and teenagers are still outside the education system.

We believe that breaking the social gaps and stimulating the economic development of our country depends on the skills of our young people. For this reason, we have devised the Skills for Youth Employment Program. A training that comprises four integral areas; important for individual and social transformation, being these: Human, Labor, Technological and Learning Skills. In order to increase their competencies and be able to offer a response to an environment of vulnerability and demand.

Angely is one of our participants in the Skills for Youth Employment program. She lives in Block 4 of 23 de enero parish and, like very few young people, decided to complete her high school studies. Today she is in her fifth year at Colegio Divino Maestro.

"The impact that the training had on me, was personal, it helped me in many aspects of my life and clarified many things regarding my future. It gave me many tools to apply in a future job and public speaking, such as the confidence I have right now."

"The desire to acquire tools for the future, both personal and work-related, were my motivation to opt for this training," expresses Angely, a graduate of our Youth Employment Skills Program.

Between the months of September and December served 62 people in this program in our Superatec headquarters located in the parishes of Antímano and Catia, and thanks to the donations received, we were able to grant scholarships to 18 participants like Angely. Young people who want to be trained, integrated into the labor market, participate in social activities and, most importantly, be an example of overcoming for other hopeless young people without a life project.

Our young graduates currently have employability skills and human skills for their interrelation in academic and business spaces. In addition to skills for the design and materialization of their ventures in the future.

Our commitment as an organization is to strengthen the capabilities of young people through technology and knowledge to consolidate their employability or entrepreneurship.

Today we invite you to create with us opportunities for young people through education.
