In the canton of Penipe, Ecuador, an innovative dual education program in masonry has been implemented, developed by the EcoSur Foundation and funded by DESWOS. This project aims to train young people in construction techniques while promoting their personal and professional development.
Interactive Methodology
The program effectively combines theory and practice. Students receive theoretical lessons, using interactive methods to facilitate learning. This theoretical foundation is complemented by practical experience on construction sites, where young people apply what they have learned, facing real-world challenges in the masonry trade.
Collaboration and Practical Experience
In addition to site practices, the program includes collaborations with local companies, allowing students to explore various facets of the construction sector. These practical experiences are crucial for young people to gain a comprehensive understanding of the trade and continually improve their skills.
Results and Certification
Upon completing the program, participants receive an official mason certificate, supported by DESWOS. This certificate not only recognizes their training but also significantly enhances their job prospects, providing them with a competitive advantage in the labor market.
Community Impact
The impact of this program on the Penipe community is profound. It not only trains young people in a valuable trade but also contributes to the sustainable development of the region. The construction projects undertaken during the program improve local infrastructure and promote responsible building practices.
We want to express our gratitude to DESWOS for funding this program and for sharing the video that illustrates its impact. This video, now available on our website, offers a detailed view of the project's achievements and benefits.
