| Description: | The programme seeks to address the low levels of employability and job opportunities for women in vulnerable situations, belonging to the Chile Solidario and Ethical Family Income Subsystem. It is implemented in all regions of the country and is designed as a training and technical proposal that aims to enable participants to develop personal and work skills, including technical training in a trade, enabling them to enter the world of work, either as employees or self-employed. The courses are made up of an average of 20 women and their duration varies according to the number of hours of each course, and can last up to 4 months. PRODEMU, with its own staff, is the direct executor of the educational sessions, and for the technical training stage it hires the services of OTECs previously selected and under the supervision of the Foundation. |
