Work Experience and Professional Development
At PECES, Inc., the focus on entrepreneurship aims to prepare young people to effectively integrate into the workforce. Through work placements, students have the opportunity to experience diverse professional environments, from government institutions to local businesses, exploring roles and functions that strengthen their technical skills, communication, and teamwork abilities.
These experiences allow participants to discover their skills and interests, develop responsibility and commitment, and understand the dynamics of a real workplace. Exposure to professionals from different fields also fosters motivation and a sense of purpose, connecting young people with opportunities that contribute to their personal and professional growth.
