In this regard, President Fujimori announced that she is arranging for an agreement to be signed between the Ministry of Education (Minedu) and the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion (MTPE) to enable students receiving technical training in their final years of secondary school to benefit from the MTPE's job listings.
