Company Snapshot
Andres, Alvaro, and Hugo have catalyzed change in Colombia’s education sector and are now poised to significantly grow their skills and training business. Since starting CAMPOALTO in 1996 to offer nursing assistant training, the entrepreneurs have expanded to 16 different training programs offered at 5 campus locations in Bogota. Realizing that accreditation would further differentiate the business, the entrepreneurs recently advocated for a new sector of government regulated education and then became the first school in Colombia to be certified in this new sector.
CAMPOALTO now has over 5,000 students in its programs, mostly from low income populations that are attracted to its flexible approach to course scheduling and payment. With a graduate placement rate of 73%, CAMPOALOALTO is poised to have a high impact in Colombia, which currently has the highest unemployment rate in Latin America.
