dc.description.abstract"As new information and communication technologies (ICT) increasingly penetrate the different economic sectors, disadvantaged groups now have more opportunities to participate in these sectors. For disadvantaged youth, ICT training can be particularly helpful in expanding employment opportunities. However, the increased need for ICT skills may widen social and economic gaps because marginalized groups may not have the same access to ICTs as higher-income groups. This study seeks to analyze ICT training as a strategy for incorporating disadvantaged youth in the knowledge-based economy. To this end, we analyzed youth training programs at centers run by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in three Latin American countries: Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. Training programs of NGOs can help low-income youth effectively adopt ICTs. There is no doubt that acquiring ICT skills in demand in the current market can help these young people find jobs. They face obstacles such as a poor education, lack of ICT skills and the necessary social capital to identify the most attractive ICT positions for their professional development. They also lack support networks for finding jobs or starting businesses. Training in ICT offers socially and economically excluded groups the chance to enter the knowledge-based economy.
