Five effective keys to study and work at the same time

At the end of secondary school, only 1 in 5 young people access higher education in Peru, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI). One of the main causes is the economic gap that forces them to postpone or interrupt their professional training to dedicate themselves to work.

This is stated by Guillermo Sánchez, general director of the Certus institute, who explains that adults do not have to give up their dreams of becoming professionals. “We know that many people cannot do without their jobs, but they also do not have to give up their dreams”Explains Sánchez.

In this context, the specialist offers five effective tips to study and work at the same time:

1. Select institutions and careers that guarantee rapid job placement. For example, there is a great demand for technical professionals in the country. Therefore, an Institute student can enter the labor market from his second cycle, since he receives practical training from the first day.
2. Bet on a short run. With accessible monthly payments that can start from S / 200, studying at an institute allows you to recover the investment in a short time, since a technical professional can earn between S / 1,000 and S / 4,000 per month, depending on their specialty.
3. Look for educational programs that adapt to market demand. Technical education is constantly updated to respond to the changes and needs of the market and the world. This guarantees better professional training.
4. Choose programs with flexible hours. So that they do not neglect work, young people must opt ​​for institutions that allow them to manage their study schedules. Blended programs with virtual resources are an excellent option.
5. Inform and communicate. Working and studying at the same time requires effort and discipline. Therefore, it is important to inform and maintain active communication with teachers and colleagues. Thus, they will be able to request support when necessary.
