Accounts and short films

“The Program helped me to integrate and to feel safer in such a competitive world, pursuing positions of greater demand for labor.”

“I developed things I didn’t think I had. I got to meet a part of me I didn’t think existed.”

“They told us that the Program was called ‘socioemotional skills for work,’ but, for me, it worked for life in general. I learned to scan myself and to understand how my emotions affect my surroundings and my personal growth.”

“This Program taught us to chase our dreams and to never give up, to give it our best and to never doubt our skills.”

“At least in Limón I think the Program worked because many of us were able to place ourselves, even in the company I currently work for.”

“They gave us the opportunity to meet great, qualified staff, tools to improve English, and to learn about other cultures.”

“Thank you for making English an interesting subject, for teaching us that Math is essential in life.”

“Honestly, I wouldn’t have the job I have, the university, having helped my family, if it wasn’t for the Program.”

“I started the Program when I was 17 years old, and it not only improved my academic condition, but my social and economic situation, too. I didn’t have to stress out looking for ways to help my family. I felt really happy when I was accepted.”

“The Program has guided me and given me a lot of tools. Thanks to this, I now have bigger opportunities of entering the job market in a successful way.”

“Teachers are always looking after us, asking us about how we feel both physically and emotionally. That is really nice because they are not only focusing on our leaning, but on our health as well.”

“I have grown a lot in these last months, as a person, as a student, as a professional in the future. It has helped me a lot with my confidence. People who know me have noticed a difference: a new Edwin, different, more self-assured when speaking, be it in Spanish or English.”
