The St Luke Polytechnic Institute of Tabarre opened its doors on April 10th, 2012 and was inaugurated on April 12th, 2012 in presence of the Mexican President Felipe Carederon under the name “Saint Francis of Assisi.” The buildings were constructed with donations from the Mexican Alliance.
The polytechnic institute includes two schools: a school of Nursing and Medical Technology, and a school of Science and Technology. The St Luke administrative team supervises the development of the training provided and ensures smooth operation in the teaching and learning process of the different fields.
Training equips students to:
provide complete nursing care for patients
enter the labor market as a skilled professional
contribute to the social and economic development of our society
The program’s benefits to Haiti:
reduces unemployment
provides the medical care market with skilled and efficient young professionals
increases the income of households
contributes to reduced juvenile delinquency
Our Approach
The Tabarre area is crowded with young people, and, unfortunately, training centers are scarce. Geographically, we are at the heart of this community’s economic center and have a strong reputation with young people ready to build a career in Haiti.
Our ambition is to welcome all interested young people and train them according to international standards. In addition, we seek to instill a shared sense of responsibility for the greater good of our communities.
We place youth at the heart of our educational activities. Before young people are ready to learn, we must recognize how isolation and the trauma of their previous experiences have impacted their education and perspectives. Only then can they embrace the totality of our training program.
We have also established a close and strong bond with local employers and are responsive to their needs. Our training focuses on good customer service and the efficiency of our technicians, while coaching them on ethics and professionalism.
The Notre Dame de Guadaloupe Training Center is a top-rated center that supports and develops the skills of young people, while also strengthening the pedagogical and technical skills of the teaching staff.
Our long track record allows us to contemplate a promising future and to develop event stronger partnership for the good of our alumni.
Training Priorities
Haiti’s natural underground reservoirs are getting drier and gradually deteriorating. Our Hydraulic Plumbing and Sanitation Department has developed a water treatment program in response to this challenge. Other areas of focus:
Auto-tronics and auto repair
Solar energy
Digital media and communications
