In an increasingly digital world, access to education and professional training is vital for navigating labor market challenges. In response to this need, Mexican entrepreneur Carlos Slim Helú, through the Carlos Slim Foundation, has consolidated its free training and employability platform, Capacítate para el Empleo. Launched as an initiative for inclusion and economic development, this platform offers free online training to millions who wish to learn a trade, enhance their skills, or prepare for new job opportunities.
Each course is designed with a practical and progressive approach. Upon completion, users receive a digital certificate endorsed by the Carlos Slim Foundation, which can be used to enrich their resumes and seek employment. The Capacítate para el Empleo platform has become an essential tool for thousands looking to learn a trade, improve their skills, or enter the job market with greater opportunities.
With a diverse educational offering divided into various fields of knowledge tailored to current labor market demands, the platform includes courses in technical trades such as electrician, carpenter, plumber, automotive mechanic, and baker. In addition, it covers technology and digital fields like web programming, technical support, digital marketing, cybersecurity, and data analysis. The administrative and services section features courses for accounting assistants, administrative assistants, sales and customer service representatives, human resources, logistics, and business management.
Moreover, Capacítate para el Empleo also offers entrepreneurship and soft skills training, including financial education, effective communication, leadership, customer service, and business strategies. There are even courses tailored for specific sectors such as health, tourism, agriculture, and the environment, further expanding its reach.
Recently, Carlos Slim launched a new course titled "Introducción a los impuestos" (Introduction to Taxes) through Capacítate para el Empleo. This course, part of the administration and finance section, consists of four levels where participants will study the fundamentals of taxes, their origins, obligations as taxpayers, and the international framework.
In addition to educational initiatives, Carlos Slim has also introduced a job offer through Grupo Financiero Inbursa aimed at adults aged between 50 and 65. This job opportunity, which offers monthly income that could exceed 6,000 pesos, is designed for individuals who may not yet qualify for federal programs aimed at older adults but still wish to remain active in the workforce.
The position involves working as a financial advisor within Inbursa, focusing on customer service, promoting services, and closing sales. The role offers not only a salary greater than 6,000 pesos per month but also continuous training, flexible working hours, and a dynamic professional development environment.
This initiative aims to break down age-related employment stigmas by providing real growth opportunities for older individuals who still have much to contribute to the productive sector. The program's goal is to enhance the financial autonomy and emotional well-being of older adults.
To qualify for this position, candidates must meet several requirements, including being between 50 and 65 years old, having a general high school diploma as the minimum educational level, at least one year of prior work experience, and skills in communication, commercial advice, sales closing, and basic social media management.
Interested individuals can send their CV via email or through WhatsApp to the number listed on the job posting. Although this initiative does not replace the federal "Pensión Bienestar," it represents a viable alternative for adults aged 50 to 60 to earn a monthly income exceeding 6,000 pesos, provided they meet specific employment criteria.
Additionally, for those aged 60 and above, there is an added benefit: they can earn income from this job while still receiving discounts and benefits provided by the INAPAM card, issued by the National Institute for Older Adults. Women accepted into this job offer may also have the opportunity to receive extra income through the "Pensión Mujeres Bienestar," which grants a bimonthly financial support of 3,000 pesos to women aged 60 to 64 in disadvantaged situations.
The job openings are published specifically for the Tlalpan borough in Mexico City, and interested candidates can apply directly through the Computrabajo portal or via WhatsApp at 5612919020. Carlos Slim's initiatives underscore a commitment to improving educational access and employment opportunities for individuals across various age groups, particularly older adults who wish to remain active contributors to society.
As the job market evolves, programs like Capacítate para el Empleo and the job offerings through Inbursa highlight the importance of adaptability and continuous learning in securing a stable future. With training programs that cater to the needs of the modern workforce and job opportunities that value the experience of older adults, Carlos Slim is paving the way for a more inclusive labor market.
