Barranquilla’s project, Todos Somos Barranquilla, offers a comprehensive suite of services to 100 clients, providing them with specialized vocational training, psychosocial support, legal documentation support, and direct access to 200 of Barranquilla’s employers. Focused on Venezuelan refugees, clients include women, youth, victims of armed conflict, and persons living with disabilities. Delivered through the city’s Opportunities Center, the project ensures that its participants have a safe and secure livelihood within the city’s formal economy, paving the way for a stronger and more inclusive overall workforce within the city of Barranquilla. Now ending its pilot phase, Barranquilla pledges to expand Todos Somos Barranquilla as a permanent program of the Opportunities Centre while continuing to encourage the private sector to hire program graduates. |
