Colegio Nacional de Educación Profesional Técnica

CONALEP, the Colegio Nacional de Educación Profesional Técnica, is a Mexican public institution founded in 1978 that provides upper-secondary technical and vocational education. Its campuses across the country train professional technicians in fields such as industry, health, and services.

It is one of several public education systems in Mexico; don’t confuse it with UNAM (the national university) or the IPN (National Polytechnic Institute), which are higher-education institutions.
