The difference in relation to the 1144 participants is explained mainly due to the exits of the Program of who have re-entered their jobs or found a job. Others have exited to take extensive periods of absences and a minor proportion have permanently dropped out of the program. The program has expanded its course offer to the construction sector with the collaboration of the National Institute for Professional Advancement (NIPA). Overall the Program have had substantial advances, and further increase in the number of beneficiaries is to be achieved. Component 2.
