Chubut educational technology and vocational programs

Overview

The Chubut government is implementing various educational initiatives focused on technology and vocational training.

Through the Secretariat of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education, the province is conducting the ‘Technologies for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities’ program. This initiative, part of the Inclusive Technologies Laboratory Program (LTI), uses assistive technologies and accessible software to reduce barriers for people with disabilities. The program utilizes a hybrid modality of virtual and in-person sessions, expanding its reach to several regions including Esquel and Sarmiento.

Additionally, the Ministry of Education has launched the second stage of the ‘Escuelas Secundarias con Formación Complementaria’ (Escuelas FoCo) program. This phase seeks to integrate 20 new non-technical public secondary schools to provide students aged 16 and older with training linked to the labor market and further studies. Previous participants in the program have already received technological equipment such as 3D printers and mini PCs to enhance their training environments.
