Starting situation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colombia possesses significant economic potential thanks to its climatic diversity and wealth of natural resources, but faces major social challenges. In Antioquia, youth unemployment is at 20%, and in rural areas up to 84% of employment is informal. The school dropout rate is over 20%, and nearly 26% of 14- to 28-year-olds are neither in education nor employment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dual vocational training is gaining importance and is being promoted specifically for particularly affected groups. With a law introduced in 2023, companies are required to offer training contracts or make compensation payments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In phase 1 of the project, new occupational profiles were developed together with the Medell\u00edn & Antioquia Chamber of Commerce (CCMA) and the Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje (SENA), the number of trainees was significantly increased, and the first dual training formats were implemented. Phase 2 aims to sustainably anchor and expand these structures, develop additional occupational profiles, and engage further chambers, training centers, universities, and companies in order to significantly increase the number of well-trained skilled workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project partners are able to improve the employability of young people in selected professions within the digital, agricultural, food processing, and tourism sectors in the Antioquia region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
