"Leadership for Transformation" is a program that is based on a Technical Cooperation Agreement between the Andean Development Corporation (CAF) and the Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL) and that aims to identify, select and train leaders -women and men – so that they can exercise their leadership with responsibility and knowledge of the country’s situation, and be able to transform the political, social and economic reality of Ecuador, with the commitment to build a better future.

The process begins with a pre-registration in April at all the locations designated for this year. The deadline to leave the requirements is April 30th. From April 30th to May 5th, those who have been chosen to participate in the Program will be selected and notified. The selection will be based on the requirements and the availability of places. Once the admitted participants are informed, they will have to pay the amount of $60 in the current account # 11121691 in the Bank of Guayaquil in the name of “EMPRESA PÚBLICA DE SERVICIOS ESPOL- TECH EP”. This certificate of deposit must be taken to the location to which they applied to complete the registration process. Failure to comply with this last procedure will be understood as the rejection of the admission offer, and the vacated place will be assigned to another registered applicant. Payments made are not refundable in case of withdrawal from the Program.
- Cost US $60: The actual total cost of the program is approximately US$ 900 per student, but thanks to the CAF contribution each admitted applicant will only have to pay US$ 60. This amount covers instructional materials and refreshments. Transportation and lodging costs are the responsibility of the participant.
The program consists of 9 modules of 16 hours each. Upon completion of the program, a CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL ISSUED BY CAF AND ESPOL will be issued. The program will begin on Saturday, May 12. WEEKENDS ONLY. Every 15 days.
