ZUNIGA ROMERO, Adolfo Mario y PINEDA DUQUE, Javier Armando. Technical and Technological Training as a Local Development Commitment. The Universidad al Barrio program in Barranquilla. Investig. desarro. [online]. 2022, vol.30, n.2, pp.127-166. Epub 17-Mayo-2023. ISSN 0121-3261. https://doi.org/10.14482/indes.30.2.378.
This article aims to understand the contribution of technical and technological education in the generation of employment and entrepreneurship, as important elements in local development, by evaluating the effectiveness of the program Universidad al Barrio in the District of Barranquilla. This is achieved under a mixed approach of both documentary analysis and interviews with some of the main actors, to assess the effectiveness of the program from its coverage, quality, employability, and entrepreneurship. Results show that the program achieves high levels of coverage and employability in young people from low socio-economic levels, however, it has great challenges in terms of quality.
