The event was attended by Ambassador An\u00edbal Qui\u00f1\u00f3nez, representative of the Organization of American States (OAS) in Mexico, and Lara Bersano Calot, Director of Communication and Digital Transformation at The Trust for the Americas, who served as the godmother for this first graduating class. Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00f3n Garrido Susacasa, National Executive Director of J\u00f3venes Constructores de la Comunidad, noted that \u201cwe are facing challenging times, and only through the commitment of people like this team (JCC and CIMA) can we bring about this change.\u201d He also noted that it is thanks to organizations that trust them\u2014such as The Trust for the Americas and the OAS\u2014that they are able to implement projects which enable them to benefit communities through training in life skills and job skills. The CIMA Project was developed with the goal of improving the financial autonomy and overall well-being of women in the country through training in technical, digital, and life skills, This goal was reflected in the testimony of Jazmin Garc\u00eda, a 20-year-old woman who shared with us that thanks to these skills, \u201cI am now a new person seeking new paths to become a better person.\u201d In her remarks, Lara Bersano Calot acknowledged the courage of the young graduates, noting that \u201cdespite the challenges, they are waiting for a certificate that recognizes their efforts. Because, despite their fears and uncertainty, they decided to take these training courses that will help them open new doors.\u201d This is only the first step; it marks the beginning of a journey. I also want to remind you that you are not alone; there are many people thinking of you, thinking of each and every one of you, and that should be important to you.\u201c She also invited the graduates to become ambassadors for the project, explaining that through their experiences, they can encourage others to acquire these skills, which will help them secure better economic opportunities. Ambassador An\u00edbal Qui\u00f1onez, the OAS representative in Mexico, emphasized that the beneficiaries now have the foundation to \u201dbuild their house\u201c\u2014as a metaphor\u2014as they embark on a new search for opportunities that will allow them to improve their quality of life. \u201dI know you are not inheriting a perfect world, but it is your responsibility to build a better world to live in. Here, you received the foundation for what you are going to build. I encourage you to continue your education and to remember that, if I want to, I can, and I will get wherever I want to go.\u201d The graduation ceremony featured moving messages from participants in other projects implemented by JCC; thanks to technology, people from different centers in Mexico City, the State of Mexico, and Tijuana were able to come together virtually. The CIMA Project is implemented in Mexico by The Trust for the Americas, in partnership with SERAJ (Youth Services) and JCC (Young Community Builders), with funding from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. Since 2022, CIMA has sought to improve the overall well-being and financial independence of young women between the ages of 16 and 29 through in-person and\/or virtual training and mentoring focused on technical, life, digital, and empowerment skills. In this way, CIMA supports the integration of project participants into the labor market within the hospitality industry in Mexico City.
