The Centro Técnico De TravesÃa Martin Avila, is a vocational school currently being constructed in the Garifuna community of Travesia, located in the municipality of Puerto Cortes, on the north coast of Honduras. The launch of this school will enable graduates to obtain hands-on technical skills including but not limited to electricity, welding, auto mechanic, HVAC & refrigeration, plumbing, carpentry, and computer skills, and more. We are committed to helping these students learn the skills they need to be successful in their chosen fields. Pending available funds and resources, we plan to launch the school in 2024. Please see the description of our planned activities below.
​
Our goal is to have approximately 70 students per session. One session will consist of 7 trade specializations and 10 students enrolled in each class at max enrollment. Upon the initial launch, we plan to start with two trades which include welding, and auto mechanic. We will later expand into the other trades as funding increases and enrollment picks up.
