Abstract
Developed in partnership with the Office of the Vice President in 2021, Escuela de Oportunidades is a national internship program that intentionally invests in young female Indigenous professionals to increase their visibility in governance structures. Through a combination of mentorship, training, and practical experience, Escuela de Oportunidades has successfully facilitated the entry of Indigenous Guatemalan women into government institutions, enhancing gender and ethnic inclusivity in public service. This brief is part of the Abriendo Oportunidades® Legacy Series, celebrating and highlighting 20 years of impactful program implementation.
