Ready to head out to the city looking for job possibilities.














Danilo Calix, 23, likes construction type work, fixing things, listening to music, and cooking (eating, even more so!). Danilo graduated from "colegio" (high school) with a career focus in electricity. Danilo had been studying languages in the public university but recently changed his major to teaching.


Note: All high school students choose a career focus for their last three years of study. Most public high schools only offer a handful of choices.

Mirna Sanchez, 20, likes to sew, read and draw. She also graduated from "colegio" with a career focus in computers, science, and writing.











Mirian Carcamo, 25, enjoys reading, listening to music and swimming. She graduated from high school with the same career focus in computers, science, and writing. She has been studying business administration in the public university as well.
