It is a flexible, comprehensive educational project aimed at socially disadvantaged young adults aged 15-20 who have fallen out of the formal education system and are not in work.

The concept of work is modified into something more than pure employment to become a way of life where personal and social goals are earn.
PNET-CECAP is a network of local centers and part of the National Public Education System of Uruguay, this result in a continuous every-day effort not necessarily influenced by national activities.
