The Executive Branch has agreed that the National Institute of Professional Technical Training (Infotep) should receive an increase in 2018 of RD$70,391,923 taking its total budget to RD$147,271,423.
Since Infotep’s founding in 2013, its budget has always stayed the same at RD$76,879,500.
Infotep director general Rafael Ovalles said in the past three years Infotep has seen an increase of 12.6% in its revenues from the business sector. He said the additional increase was especially helpful in funding programs that provide skills to low income individuals and groups. He said the increased budget would be used to improve the Infotep’s physical plant and expand and enhance programs to reach more students.
