On July 15, we commemorated International Youth Skills Day with our Professional Ethics course students. The participants had the opportunity to learn how the day came about and how youth recognize their own skills in the ethical and labor field, “reducing barriers to access to the labor market, ensuring that acquired skills are recognized and certified, and providing skills development opportunities for those outside the labor market”, as stated by the United Nations.

The protagonists of this activity were the students of the Bachelor’s Degree in English oriented to Teaching, Systems Engineering and Software Engineering: Dayalis Pérez, Jesús De León, Manuel Peña, Idaisa Rodríguez, Luisa Díaz, Robert Mirando, Jesús De Oleo, Diana Matos, Joel Vásquez, Dashira Fung, Ángel Jaime and Hayzel Tamarez, accompanied by their teacher, Ms. Karina Taveras.

The event was also attended by Dr. Laura Reyes, Academic Vice Chancellor; Ms. Ligia Henríquez, Coordinator of the Bachelor’s Degree in English Oriented to Teaching; Ms. Alejandra Brunet, Coordinator of the Bachelor’s Degree in Tourism and Hotel Management; Ms. Lucía Zimbrón, Head of Student Orientation, and professors Mr. Fernando Batlle and Mr. Luis Marrero.
