The objective of this project was to collect, analyze and share best-practice information with schools that specialize in vocation and professional training.The specific target group focused on programs that are not funded by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and which do not depend on Perpetual Education Funds loans for their student population.

The study measured the success of the vocational training schools with their ability to:

1. Compensate their teachers with a salary and benefits packet
2. Offer services and infrastructure that will help students be up to date with technology
3. Organically develop the program of study with input from local industry
4. Focus on effective placement techniques
5. Use publicity and recruitment to increase reputation and future viability

These factors were identified through the analysis of a survey conducted throughout Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, and Chile. The survey was distributed to the best professional institutes in the aforementioned countries. Other important factors surveyed worth mentioning are administrative responsibilities such as budgeting and financial aid, and legal recognition in order to assess the necessary steps that a future entrepreneur should take to establish a school.
