Happens that these job training programs have a high drop out rate (45% in average), so then it will be analyzed the real impact of the programs on income and employability based on the decisions of the trainees of entering into the program and finishing it, and how the institutional arrangements (content, quality and pertinence of the training courses and internship) affects these results. This study will take as study cases: the following job training programs: Projoven-Peru and Projoven-Uruguay.
