Vocational School In Colombia Closes, Leaving Migrants Jobless

Migrants arrive in Eagle Pass

A vocational school in Colombia aimed at helping migrants gain employment has been forced to close its doors unexpectedly. This closure comes as a result of President Donald Trump's decision to freeze US foreign aid in January, impacting the school's ability to continue operating.

The sudden shutdown of the school has left many migrants in a state of uncertainty regarding their future prospects. More than 2,400 miles away, political decisions made at the highest levels have directly affected the lives of these individuals seeking to improve their employment opportunities.

The vocational school served as a crucial resource for migrants looking to acquire new skills and secure stable employment. With its closure, many are now left without access to the training and support they need to build a better future for themselves and their families.

Efforts to address the root causes of migration and provide opportunities for economic empowerment are essential in ensuring the well-being and stability of migrant communities.
