A. M. The Finance and Special Budget Committee has ruled in favor of reforming the 2025 Budget Law. The objective is to incorporate US$2,177,000 for the Instituto Nacional de Capacitación y Formación (INCAF). These funds seek to strengthen the country’s training offerings.
The investment will allow for the acquisition of specialized machinery for INCAF’s Professional Development Center in Ilopango, San Salvador. Professionals will be trained in key areas such as hydraulics, pneumatics, and industrial maintenance. This measure seeks to improve the skills of salvadoran workers.
Marlon Herrera, general director of investment at the Ministry of Finance, reported that the program will benefit 8,400 people. These include active workers, the unemployed, and young people seeking their first job. The project is aligned with INCAF’s market research.
The funds will be used to purchase two industrial robots, two milling centers, and two turning centers, among other equipment. System simulators for pneumatics and hydraulics will also be acquired. In addition, improvements will be carried out at the INCAF Professional Development Center.
This initiative seeks to improve access to employment through skills training and increasing the competitiveness of human talent. Training spaces aligned with the current labor market will be created. The goal is to boost economic growth and job opportunities.
Representative Edgardo Mulato emphasized that this initiative will provide INCAF with the necessary resources and tools. This will allow for greater synergy with the country’s ongoing development. The goal is to decentralize training and development outside the capital.
