Abstract

Education for employment and the human development represents an opportunity for Colombians who have been unable to complete their studies through the traditional route, but whom through the programs developed under this structure can be trained in an art, could be trained for some art, profession or career, to subsequently be linked to the labor field. The aim of the article was to review the contribution of education to the growth and well-being of society, by demonstrating from a theoretical review the implications of job training or education for employment and its relationship with human development, since all activities carried out by people must imply for them dignity, pride and satisfaction of the needs that result in their well-being and that of their environment. Training must undoubtedly lead to both individual and group empowerment, so that their performance is characterized by commitment, creativity and innovation. Finally, it can be stated that Education for the work and human development is not only about training for an art, trade or profession, it is a training that stands out for its humanizing and social character. In Colombia, training programs in this area allow the apprentice to be linked to the labor field.
