The Community Foundation of Puerto Rico (FCPR) and Hunter College are currently evaluating applications received for the second cohort of the Professional Certification for the Multisectoral Reconstruction of Puerto Rico.
The first group of students started courses at the end of February and the second group (cohort) is projected to start in April 2024.
If you have recently completed registration and have not yet received any communication, your application is being evaluated. In this regard, it is important to note that the Foundation, as a sub-recipient of CDBG-DR funds, must guarantee that the Job Training Program benefits low and/or moderate income persons, according to the income limits established by the Federal Housing Department. Non-residents of Puerto Rico are not eligible for the program.
This continuing education opportunity provides the participant with the opportunity to strengthen their professional competencies to expand their job opportunities in reconstruction and economic recovery projects and learn about the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and successful proposal writing.
The certification is aimed at community leaders, undergraduate or graduate students, staff of community and non-profit organizations; municipal staff and leaders of social enterprises who are working in post-disaster reconstruction areas or aspire to do so.
The certification is funded by the Department of Housing and CDBG-DR funds (Job Training Program, WFT).
