INNOVA DURAS
Pilot Program in Colombia
​INNOVA-DURAS is a training program for young high school girls aged 15 to 18.
-
They benefit from immersion in the digital environment and the development of essential technical skills and soft-skills to work in Tech.
-
Beneficiary institutions: Public educational establishments in the Colombian Caribbean region.
-
Programs: AgileTech and StartupMaker.
-
Duration: 10 months ​per school / year
​
​
​
INNOVA-DURAS aims to prepare young women for a TECH future, either by accessing employment or as entrepreneurs.
This is a support strategy for professional integration that emphasizes the exploration of a vocation, the learning of agile methodologies, meeting with TECH entrepreneurs and integration into schools of allied training that have confirmed employability rates.
​
The program is developed in schools, with face-to-face and online modules, in sessions of 3 to 5 hours per week. We have implemented a methodology that can be fully deployed remotely: conferences with tech entrepreneurs, access to digital media and equipment to monitor the progress of each participant.
​
INNOVA-DURAS also offers to train teachers from educational institutions associated with the program, offering them the opportunity to explore agile methodologies and giving them access to open source resources, so that each institution can count, once the project developed, an internal facilitator who will be able to ensure the continuity of the training, once the CMFK action has been carried out.
