| Overview
|
| The Universidad del Turabo (UT) will implement “Moving Communities Towards Progress and Economic Development,” an initiative that will facilitate job growth and improve the quality of life for those living in the target distressed communities. The initiative is designed to increase economic opportunities through job training, employment opportunities, capacity building, employment counseling, and intensive follow-up. Strategies and innovative programs such as those proposed in the UT project are imminent to the socioeconomic development of Puerto Rico. This will be possible by integrating public and private employers with the UT Community Career Center, thus capitalizing on the synergy to better serve those in need. The main activity proposed requires the rental/lease of a mobile unit that will be used to house economic development activities and services that complement the UT Community Career Center, but in new physical settings not currently available, thus broadening the reach of the Center’s service area. This unit will house the permanent university partnership headquarters for microenterprise and employment development activities and services that will integrate UT faculty, students, public and private entities, including, but not limited to community and faith-based organizations, and the industrial sector partners in Puerto Rico. This will be possible given an agreement made with the Ana G. Mendez University System Centers established island wide.
