Focused on young people between the ages of 16 and 30, it seeks to develop behaviors, skills, and knowledge in young people that will enable them to achieve the highest degree of autonomy in different contexts and prepare them for employment.
Since 2005, we have been working with young people aged 16 and over who have completed their education and are looking to prepare themselves for a productive adult life. This program is Growing Towards Adulthood – CHVA.
The goal is to develop skills that enable them to lead independent lives, with autonomy in different contexts and preparation for employment in line with their interests and abilities.
It takes place in two stages:
The first is the stage of training in BASIC SKILLS, which supports the development of behaviors, skills, attitudes, and knowledge in young people so that they can achieve maximum autonomy and actively participate in preparing their life plans and in different family and social contexts.
This is a phase of therapeutic intervention in the areas of speech therapy, occupational therapy, psychology, and education.
The objective is to continue working on literacy and numeracy processes and logical mathematical thinking, but to ensure that these are applied and more functional or practical skills for everyday life. To develop skills for daily life, home life, community life, and occupational skills. And to develop or strengthen social, emotional, and interaction skills to achieve the social and emotional maturity that will enable them to fulfill their role as adults.
The second is the stage of training in WORK SKILLS which has been carried out in partnership with the Julio Garavito Colombian School of Engineering since 2007, with El Bosque University since 2010, and at EAN University since 2023, where a unique training model has been developed jointly with the universities, emphasizing the competencies of BEING and DO; using the university's facilities as learning environments for developing these skills in a real-world, inclusive context immersed in the university community, with excellent personal and professional results. As an added value to the training, the Colombian School of Engineering offers a diploma course from the Faculty of Industrial Engineering in Logistics and Services and is currently working with EAN University on the certification of job skills.
This training emphasizes skills, preparing them to perform duties in administrative logistics support, customer service, human resources support, occupational health and safety system management, logistics support for services, events, and document management.
