Vocational Programs

Transforming lives and empowering people is the key to assisting our brothers and sisters in Peru to take a step on the path out of poverty. Providing them with opportunities to develop skills sets creates a sense of dignity that they will be able to get a job in the workforce or begin a business of their own to provide for their family. The mission has partnered with the Ministry of Education in Peru to provide certified vocational training programs in fields where employment opportunities have been identified. Current programs include culinary, seamstress, bakery, and carpentry training. Most courses can be completed within 18 to 24 months and graduates are then able to obtain employment and become contributing members of their local community.
