TRADE TRAINING PROGRAM

IEP’s Trade Training Program provides youth and adults with practical, employment-ready skills through courses held at the Esperanza Center. Programs include culinary arts, sewing, beauty training, coding and technology, and entrepreneurship, all designed to respond to local workforce needs.

Through partnerships with institutions like INTECAP and specialized programs such as coding academies, participants receive certified training and hands-on experience that increase employability and open pathways to income generation. In particular, access to technology and coding education creates new opportunities for youth to enter the growing digital economy.

This program equips individuals with the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to build sustainable livelihoods, start their own businesses, and strengthen their communities.
