The main educational programs in the province of Jujuy are the following:
Technical School “Herminio Arrieta”
Since 2010, Ledesma has been carrying out an improvement plan for the school, since we believe that supporting technical education in the community is essential to promote economic and social sustainability.
Skill Training Program
We have provided skill training programs in collaboration with the Technical School Herminio Arrieta to 200 young students in the cities of Libertador General San Martín, Calilegua and El Talar with the purpose of providing them technical knowledge and non-formal education to find a job.
Program “Escuela Empresa” (School – Enterprise)
We have implemented this annual program since 2014, approved as the “Vocational Training Courses” Plan by the Ministry of Education, since it is included within the curricula of schools in which it is implemented.
