Comments

Young people prioritised according to their Social Protection Card scores and other regional criteria. There are 1,300 places for young people coming from the Chile Solidario or Seguridades y Oportunidades Subsystem. Changes in the intervention strategy due to the health context: A remote modality was implemented, ensuring that the programme's objectives are met, the emergency execution was reduced by one month, and there were no changes in coverage.
