The National Learning Institute (INA) has announced the opening of enrollment for its new offer of free courses, designed to strengthen the technical skills of the Costa Rican population. The initiative seeks to respond to the demands of the current and future labor market, providing training opportunities in key areas for the country’s economic development.

The offer includes a variety of programs in strategic sectors such as technology, tourism, logistics, the environment, and agriculture. The courses are aimed both at unemployed individuals seeking job placement and at those who want to improve their professional profile or start a business.

To access these courses, applicants must meet basic requirements that vary depending on the program, but generally include being of legal age, having completed primary education, and possessing the specific prior knowledge required for each specialty. It is essential that applicants have computer equipment and internet access, given that a significant portion of the offer is delivered in virtual modality.

The enrollment process is carried out through INA’s official platform or by contacting regional campuses, where detailed information will be provided on each course, start dates, and the steps to follow to formalize registration. The institution has emphasized the importance of applicants verifying the specific requirements of each program before applying.

INA’s initiative is part of a national strategy to reduce the talent gap and increase the competitiveness of the Costa Rican workforce. By offering training in high-demand sectors, the goal is not only to facilitate employability but also to boost the growth of industries with great development potential in Costa Rica.

The programs vary in duration, ranging from short workshops to longer courses that grant recognized certifications, opening new doors for the professional and personal development of thousands of Costa Ricans.
