📋 Tender Overview
Minister Maurate highlighted the importance of the dual training system that promotes the MTPE program and the potential of the Peruvian textile sector. The Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion (MTPE), in collaboration with the company PRECOTEX and SENATI, began today the technical training of 50 young people in the course Sewing Machinist - Apprentice, beneficiaries of the National Employment Program for Productive Youth.
During the opening ceremony, held at the PRECOTEX facilities in Independencia, the Minister of Labor and Employment Promotion, Daniel Maurate Romero, highlighted the importance of the dual training system, which combines theoretical training with practical training in companies.
This dual modality that allows us to work in alliance with companies has significantly improved job placement. Today we can say that we have a very high insertion rate, more than 90% of young people who are trained stay in the company, said Minister Maurate.
The head of the MTPE highlighted the growth potential of the Peruvian textile sector and encouraged the young participants to dream big. We need to build a Peruvian brand in textiles. Here in Peru we are making clothes for the best brands in the world, but we still do not have an internationally recognized brand of our own, he said.
For his part, the General Manager of PRECOTEX, Mr. Dante Villalva Munive, welcomed the first class of Productive Youth and expressed the companys commitment to the program. We put at your disposal the infrastructure, twenty-eight years of experience in exporting clothing, and we are sure that this house will not only allow you to achieve your dreams, but also to have a full professional and personal life, he said.
During the activity, two young beneficiaries shared their experiences. Yuriko Alva thanked the opportunity provided by the program and the company, highlighting the importance of this initiative for her personal and professional growth. For his part, Jhordi Rivera, 22 years old and from the district of Ventanilla, recounted how the program has allowed him to move from informal jobs to an opportunity for training and formal employment.
Maurate also emphasized the positive outlook for the Peruvian economy, mentioning projects such as the new international airport and the Chancay megaport, which will generate thousands of jobs and boost the countrys economic growth.
The Jovenes Productivos program seeks to improve the employability of young people in situations of poverty and vulnerability, offering them free training in partnership with the private sector.
