The b-IT Project is a "two-year 100% online training program (Year I: Programming, Year II: Information Technology Analyst) and is aimed at people over 18 years of age with a fourth year of secondary school or equivalent passed".
It is a "highly inclusive" proposal, which bets on the integration of diverse talents from all over the country to the employment in Information Technologies.
The agreement states that "Cuti will design a technical training proposal for the Uruguayan ICT industry specifically for work in technology or technology-intensive companies".
1,000 scholarships
For its part, "INEFOP will finance up to 1,000 scholarships throughout the country".
The agreement offers "a space to integrate more women, people who want to retrain or are disabled and other groups with difficulties in accessing employment".
Pereyra emphasized that the scholarships will be named Álvaro Lamé, as a tribute to the former president of Cuti, who had the idea for the project.
The director of INEFOP said that "we are committed to train young people to access quality jobs provided by this thriving sector".
For his part, the Minister of Labor and Social Security, Ernesto Murro, stressed that "1.3 million dollars will be invested in something that the country needs as part of the strategy of Work Culture for Development".
