•          590 graduates are subscribed to our Graduates’ blog and 590 are followers to the Graduates Network Facebook profile.
•          310 graduates received vital job training such as how to search for a job, computer skills, and accounting lessons.
•          46 graduated recieved online mentoring by 43 volunteers trained by Cimientos.
•          43 participants were granted university scholarships to further their education and studied different college careers. 3 of them graduated and now have a college degree.
•          20 graduates found jobs thanks to our help help and obtained personalized mentoring during the first 3 months at their new jobs.
•          24 participants volunteered at Cimientos.
