Verification notes
Verified from MITRADEL's 5 September 2026 Panama Oeste expansion notice and recent official registration/training updates. The ministry confirms the programme is active, serves ages 17–24 and uses regional registration/outreach. No universal closing date or single current online application form was stated, so the deadline is null and the official programme notice is retained as the application information route.
