El tiempo avanza rápido y ya estamos finalizando febrero de 2025. Es momento de compartirles cómo cerramos 2024 y los avances de este año con el programa Jóvenes creaTIvos.

En la segunda mitad de noviembre y principios de diciembre, se llevaron a cabo las siguientes actividades:

  • Presentación de proyectos finales (13-21 de noviembre): Los jóvenes culminantes defendieron sus proyectos ante mentores especializados. El entregable fue un blog interactivo sobre destinos turísticos, que incluía registro de usuarios, publicación y visualización de destinos.
  • Clausuras (16 de noviembre - 4 de diciembre): Se entregaron certificados y reconocimientos a participantes, mentores y aliados en las ciudades donde operamos.
  • EXPOferia Jóvenes en las TIC: En Paysandú, Cali y Barranquilla, la clausura incluyó la presentación de proyectos ante empresarios, familiares y aliados, además de conferencias sobre tendencias tecnológicas y charlas motivacionales.
  • Encuesta de impacto: Se recogió retroalimentación de los jóvenes, con una calificación promedio de 4.4/5, destacando el programa como "muy útil" para su desarrollo y el de sus familias.

Enero y febrero de 2025

Este año seguimos creciendo con la séptima cohorte, ampliando nuestra cobertura a 700 jóvenes en:

  • Colombia: Barranquilla, Bogotá, Cali, Cartagena, Medellín y Valle de Aburrá.
  • Uruguay: Paysandú.
  • Ecuador: Guayaquil y Quito.

La convocatoria (14 de enero - 14 de febrero) recibió 10,541 aplicaciones, marcando un crecimiento del 16.7% respecto a 2024.

  • Fase 2: Evaluación de aptitud lógica y motivación (4,145 aspirantes seleccionados).
  • Fase 3: Entrevistas y prueba técnica para definir los 700 becarios (28 de febrero - 8 de marzo).

ENGLISH VERSION

Time is moving fast, and as we approach the end of February 2025, it's time to share how we closed 2024 and the progress we’ve made this year with the Jóvenes creaTIvos program.

November – December 2024

During the second half of November and early December, we carried out the following activities:

  • Final Project Presentations (November 13-21): Graduating students presented their final projects to expert mentors. Their task was to develop an interactive travel blog where users could register, log in, share their favorite destinations, and view others’ posts.
  • Graduation Ceremonies (November 16 - December 4): Certificates and special recognitions were awarded to outstanding students, mentors, and allies across all program locations.
  • ExpoFeria - Jóvenes en las TIC: In Paysandú, Cali, and Barranquilla, the graduation ceremony included final project presentations to business leaders, families, and partners, along with expert talks on tech trends and motivational speeches.
  • Impact Survey: We collected feedback from program graduates, receiving an average rating of 4.4/5, with students describing the program as “very useful” for their personal and family development.

January – February 2025

This year, we continue expanding with our seventh cohort, reaching 700 students in:

  • Colombia: Barranquilla, Bogotá, Cali, Cartagena, Medellín, and Valle de Aburrá.
  • Uruguay: Paysandú.
  • Ecuador: Guayaquil and Quito.

The application period (January 14 - February 14) received 10,541 applications, reflecting a 16.7% growth compared to 2024.

Selection Process

  • Phase 1: Open call and applications.
  • Phase 2: Logical reasoning and motivation assessment (4,145 applicants selected).
  • Phase 3: Interviews and technical assessment to select the 700 scholarship recipients (February 28 - March 8).

It has been an intense but incredibly rewarding journey. Thanks to your support, we continue to transform lives and expand opportunities for young people. Thank you for being part of ROFÉ!
