Dual vocational training in O’Higgins

We support the development of dual occupational training following the German model in the O’Higgins region (Chile).

Together with the German-Chilean Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Aurubis is supporting the development of dual occupational training following the German model at the school Liceo Jean Buchanan in the O’Higgins region. Project participants are trained to become specialists for sustainable resource utilization in agriculture. The goal is to set up a modern, practical training program oriented to agricultural needs. The project aims to improve educational opportunities for young people with socially disadvantaged backgrounds, to create prospects for young people in a structurally weak region, and to strengthen alternative economic structures apart from mining.
