We are committed to more than just celebrating women; our ultimate goal at Aprende is to empower them to achieve their goals by recognizing that education is a key factor in unlocking opportunities. Our mission is to provide women with the essential skills to advance their careers or start their own businesses. By doing so, we hope to assist them in fulfilling their dreams and continuing to contribute to the growth and transformation of the US economy.??

Noemí, Maria, and Mónica are three such women, whose unwavering perseverance and resilience have allowed them to overcome even the toughest of challenges. Their inspiring stories serve as a reminder that with the right mindset and support, anything is possible. Thanks to Aprende, these remarkable women have been able to boost their professional and personal lives, proving that even in the face of adversity, success is within reach.

From Discrimination to Dream Job: Noemí's Makeup Success?

Noemí Aguirre, from Guatemala, is the ultimate proof that with determination and courage, anything is possible. Despite facing discrimination due to a genetic condition in her left eye, she never gave up her dream to become a professional makeup artist. That's when Aprende Institute stepped in and changed the game.

In 2022, during an interview on Despierta América, Noemí received a life-changing surprise from our CEO, Martín Claure. "We wanted to give Noemí the tools to achieve her dream," said Claure. "We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue their passion and make it a reality." Aprende granted her a full scholarship to study the Professional Makeup program and helped her manage her social media accounts. This surprise allowed her to acquire the necessary skills to become a professional makeup artist, and it was the first step towards the realization of her dream.

Fast forward to this day, Noemí is a true boss lady, showcasing her skills as a professional makeup artist with confidence and poise. "I never imagined I could achieve my dream, but Aprende gave me the chance to make it happen," Noemí said. "I'm so grateful for this opportunity." The lesson we can learn from Noemí's story is simple: if you believe in yourself and work hard to achieve your goals, nothing can stand in your way.?

Mónica Guerrero, a Colombian living in the United States, has always been passionate about learning. Aprende Institute transformed her life by empowering her with knowledge and skills through two Studying programs: Catering and Marketing for Entrepreneurs.?

Mónica's virtual learning experience was comfortable, and she could organize her schedules according to her work and other commitments. "Studying online was gratifying, especially since time for studying is limited in the US. Aprende Institute came at the right time in my life. Education and dedication are the best ways to succeed." - Monica. The attention from the teachers and the affordable prices of the programs were essential factors in her success.
