Morovis Mayor Carmen Maldonado González announced on Tuesday the launch of a new offering of training and professional development courses as a result of a collaborative agreement between the Municipality of Morovis and several educational and community institutions, in order to expand access to academic and work development opportunities for the people of the northern-central island town.

“Today is an important day for Morovis because we are opening real doors for our people,” the mayor said. “We want the people of Morovis to have access to tools that will allow them to prepare themselves, grow, and obtain better job opportunities.”

Maldonado González emphasized that the initiative positions Morovis as a hub for new educational and professional development opportunities.

“We are transforming Morovis into a meeting point for education and the training of new professionals,” she said. “Here, we believe in the talent of our people and their ability to succeed when given the right opportunities.”

The courses, which officially began Tuesday, are part of a strategic alliance formalized through an agreement between the Municipality of Morovis; Carmen Cosme, executive director of One Stop Career Center of Puerto Rico; Dr. Juan A. Moreno, of the Corozal Vocational Education Institute; and Germán Bergollo, director of Blessing Bridge Inc. The initiative seeks to strengthen skills aligned with the current needs of the labor market.

The mayor noted that the agreement allows for the pooling of resources and expertise to directly impact the community. “Every partnership we forge has a clear purpose: to benefit our citizens and improve their quality of life,” she said.

Cosme highlighted the scope and essence of the project.

“This is a project that was born with the purpose of impacting rural communities, where these types of opportunities often don’t reach,” she said. “Over time, its impact has extended throughout Puerto Rico, and today we return to its origin: the rural area, to motivate participants and their families to aspire to a better quality of life through education and training.”
