📋 Tender Overview
Schoolchildren from five schools participated in master classes and practical workshops on the Senati and UNCP Satipo campuses.Young and talented. Eighty-five fourth and fifth year high school students, in the district of Rio Negro, province of Satipo, Junin region, who are members of households that are users of the Juntos program, of the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion (Midis), took part in the university internship and guided tour called My Vocation, My Future.
In this way, the young people, who stand out for their good academic performance, were able to experience what life is like by pursuing higher education, motivating them to venture into university or technical careers once they complete their basic education.
This panorama is especially encouraging in Rio Negro, if one considers that 90% of the participants come from rural areas, populated mostly by native and migrant communities, who for various reasons do not commonly access attractive academic opportunities for a professional future.
The school delegations that participated in the internship come from the educational institutions Chamiriari, Ricardo Palma (from the town center of Ipoki), San Pedro de Coviriali, Ciro Alegria Bazan (from Huahuari) and the I.E. Jose Galvez, from the urban area of Rio Negro.
The internship activities included the participation of the dean of the Faculty of Agrarian Sciences of the National University of Central Peru (UNCP) Satipo, Luis Bazan Alonso; the head of the Rio Negro vocational training center of the National Industrial Work Training Service (Senati), Freddy Valentin Vicente; and the head of the Junin territorial unit of the Juntos program, Milton Maldonado Melgar.
University for a day
At Senati, students had guided tours and master classes in eight high-demand technical careers. The groups learned closely about the laboratories and professional profiles of the specialties of Automotive Mechatronics, heavy machinery mechanic, Industrial Electronics, Accounting, Business Administration, Graphic Design, International Business and Software Engineering with Artificial Intelligence. This methodology allowed the schoolchildren to interact directly with the technological instructors and simulate the role of a technical student in full training.
For its part, the itinerary at the UNCP included master classes in the schools of Tropical Agronomy, Tropical Forestry Engineering, Food Industry Engineering and Tropical Zootechnics. The schoolchildren toured the Environmental Quality and Bromatology laboratories, the meteorological station, as well as the production modules of the agronomy and forestry nurseries, the botanical garden and the livestock, poultry, pig and fish sectors.
With this activity, and in accordance with the priorities established by the administration of Minister Lily Vasquez, the Juntos program ratifies its commitment to encouraging educational continuity, avoiding academic desertion. Likewise, the timely application of more and more young people from rural areas of Peru to various higher education institutions is promoted, as a way to expand their opportunities for a better future.
