SUPERATEC Venezuela

What SUPERATEC Venezuela does

SUPERATEC (legal name: Superatec A.C) is a Venezuelan nonprofit civil association (Asociación Civil) founded in 2002 and headquartered in Caracas, with 57 employees and a network of 14-15 physical training centers (sedes) deployed across Caracas and seven states (Miranda, Lara, Barinas, Bolívar, Falcón, Aragua, Táchira). The organization delivers vocational, digital-inclusion, and human-development training to vulnerable Venezuelan youth and out-of-school adolescents through a three-pillar model: Superatec Comunidad (community programs), Superatec Escuela (technical school), and Servicios Corporativos (B2B corporate training).

The underlying technology stack combines in-person instruction at community-embedded centers with a multimodal remote-delivery layer that uses Blackboard Collaborate, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Cisco Webex; the organization states its own e-learning platform is under development. Curriculum ranges from basic digital literacy and Microsoft Teams training to programming (Scratch, Python, Arduino), robotics, financial literacy, and employability skills, with a recent strategic alliance with Finland-aligned partner Wonderly to deliver web-design and computational-thinking courses. Since inception, Superatec reports more than 56,081 direct beneficiaries and over 200,000 indirect beneficiaries, with 2,639 people trained in the first half of 2023 alone.

The business model is hybrid and nonprofit: beneficiary programs are free of charge and funded through grants and donations, while Servicios Corporativos generates fee-for-service revenue from private and public-sector clients. Major funding sources include international humanitarian mechanisms (Fondo Humanitario de Venezuela / Education Cannot Wait via UNICEF and AVEC), corporate sponsorships (Fundación Empresas Polar, Fundación Mercantil, Diageo, Acumuladores Duncan), and individual donations. Distribution relies on community-based outreach through 30+ community promoters, partner churches, schools, and local NGOs, plus direct corporate sales for the training-services line.
