Jóvenes con Entrega - El Salvador
In 2023, building on the success of the Jóvenes con Entrega program developed in Mexico, IYF launched a new initiative in El Salvador, with generous support from FedEx.
This program promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the country’s growing logistics labor market by adapting, piloting, and institutionalizing the proven Jóvenes con Entrega model developed in Mexico to the El Salvadoran context. The logistics technical training program was piloted with Agape, in coordination with the national professional training authority (INCAF, formerly INSAFORP), paving the way for national financing of trainings.
The Jóvenes con Entrega model includes three successful elements: life skills training through IYF’s Passport to Success® (PTS) curriculum and methodology; demand-driven technical logistics training; and support to help 150 students access opportunities in their local labor market. In doing so, IYF will address three critical drivers of social exclusion: lack of social mobility, discrimination against marginalized youth, and gender inequity.
Currently, we have impacted young people by imparting both life and technical skills. The training program of the labor market intermediation program supports graduates by providing easier access to better-paying jobs and relevant knowledge.
