This endeavor, which is a central part of the Vocational Training School, seeks to achieve the following:

• Create opportunities for facilitating the development of entrepreneuring skills.
• Provide the necessary information networks and resources to those that prove to have an entrepreneuring spirit in spite of their meager resources.
• Provide networks and training for employment to those who seek to perform hired jobs.

In order to achieve these goals, the program has a team of skilled professionals in the art of imparting personal development processes. They are backed up by a number of technicians and professionals in various trade-related fields, who are all entrepreneurs in their respective areas of expertise.
At FEDES Foundation we believe that men, women, communities and nations are enhanced by their work. Therefore, we attempt to instill enthusiasm and the joy of working that encourages us in our daily tasks in those we come in contact with.
As it was with Martin Luther, our burden is that those participating in our programs would embrace a work ethics embodied in an expression of this great man: “Even if I knew that the world were to fall apart tomorrow, I wouldn’t refrain from planting my apple tree and paying my debts.”

Concerning support for generating employment, FEDES has adapted a version of the “Labor Self-sufficiency” manual, drawn up at Bringham Young University and successfully used in the USA as State policy and in Chile by the Social Affairs Department of the Southern Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ. Along the same lines, the Vocational Training School has set up a network of “supporting enterprises” for the purposes of providing access to employment, hiring of outsourced services or other forms of insertion in the formal economic system.
