Spanish term

CAVER [C.A.V.E.R.]

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Education / Pedagogy Certificate (Chile) /Centro Técnico Superior
Dear colleagues:

There is a circular stamp on a certificate from from the Ministry of Education (Chile) with:

CORPORACION EDUCACIONAL
Liceo Politécnico “A” No. 25
Director
Linares
CAVER

It appears inside the circumference of the stamp - top half of circle has "Corporacion Educacional", while the bottom half has *CAVER*.

Any idea what CAVER means or is?
It is where you would normally have the name of city.

Links I have found include:
Called: "Centro de Formación Técnica "Centro Técnico Superior de Capacitación y Cultura CAVER"

Any help in determining the meaning of "CAVER" or "C.A.V.E.R." would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.

What great cooperation!!!!! Thanks again Charles and Donal.
DLyons Mar 14, 2015:
@Charles I'm also happy to support your answer. But I think Taña "beat" us both :-)
Charles Davis Mar 14, 2015:
@Donal How very ingenious! There, Taña, off you go: close this one without grading and answer Donal's question. I would not have refused to answer yours, but I'm more comfortable with this solution.
DLyons Mar 14, 2015:
Taña Dalglish (asker) Mar 14, 2015:
@ Donal Can't do that. The only options open to me that I see on my screen are: Close w/o grading, Edit, Reverse Pair, Squash. That is why I am "begging" one of you to put in the answer, and I will then grade and close! Capiche? LOL! Regards.
DLyons Mar 14, 2015:
Why not? Taña, I see no reason why you shouldn't answer your own question. I'm happy to vote for it (or indeed Charles' version).
Taña Dalglish (asker) Mar 14, 2015:
Oh help! If I close without grading, does it allow one to gloss the term? Charles, why don't you put in the answer, so I then grade it and close (as you did so much research to begin with). The term is "Corporación Centro Audiovisual y Socio Educacional Regional (CAVER)" and the link http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:iBjAAkM...

Please????? Smile. Regards.
Taña Dalglish (asker) Mar 14, 2015:
@ Donal:
Thanks. You are hysterical! Thanks again for all your help! Taña
DLyons Mar 14, 2015:
@Taña I'd not only gloss it, I'd frame it gold and hang it on the wall :-)
Taña Dalglish (asker) Mar 14, 2015:
Charles/Donal: I believe I found the mysterious "CAVER": http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:iBjAAkM...
Artículo 1°.- Amplíase el Decreto Exento de Educación No. 64 de 1982, que autoriza el funcionamiento al Centro de formación Técnica Centro Técnico Superior de Capacitación y Cultura CAVER de Concepción, perteneciente a la *****Corporación Centro Audiovisual y Socio Educacional Regional CAVER*****, cuyo fin es la docencia a nivel técnico para egresados de enseñanza media, en el área tecnológica en el sentido de incluir en dicha autorización de funcionamiento la sede que se indica a contar de la fecha que se señala:
Thanks again guys. So grateful. Regards. This one may be worth glossing, eh?
Taña Dalglish (asker) Mar 14, 2015:
Thanks Donal for your trouble. It is a mystery, but as Charles mentioned in his reference, and he too has looked exhaustively (and I have as well); http://www.emagister.cl/cursos-cecade-group-centro-capacitac... (CECADE). The one I am looking for deals with "Liceo Politécnico A- 25, Linares and then below that "CAVER"; other references and those found by Charles may (?) suggest "cursos auspiciados por el Instituto Caver, organismo de una Iglesia Cristiana", and as Charles pointed out "Centro Audiovisual Evangélico Regional", but references are hard to come by. Thanks so much. I really appreciate the time you spent looking........!!!!

CENTROS DE FORMACIÓN TÉCNICA NO VIGENTES (CON ANTECEDENTES ACADÉMICOS EN EL MINISTERIO DE EDUCACIÓN)

I've found an Excel file that includes (but does not explain) CAVER. Row 27 suggests it was fairly shortlived in the 80s "Centro de Formación Técnica Centro Técnico Superior de Capacitación y Cultura CAVER 29/04/1982 23/06/1988"

Another entry "Centro de Formación Técnica Centro de Capacitación y Desarrollo Educacional CECADE" suggests to me that CAVER might be CApacitación+some subject with acronym VER (or ER). There are e.g. hits on "Autosuficiencia Visual, Estimulación y Rehabilitación" so a centro for that would work but there's no actual evidence for it.

Another Centro de Formacion tecnico is "CELLER" which might be worth pursuing.

Reference comments

Reference:

Centro Audiovisual Evangélico Regional?

I have found this as a meaning of CAVER, but I'm not confident enough that it applies in your case to post it as an answer.

The document is about pottery classes for coal miners, apparently, and it looks quite old. It is from Chile:

"Su proyecto fue presentado al Centro Audiovisual Evangélico Regional (CAVER) y a la Dirección Regional de Turismo (SERNATUR), entidades que lo acogieron con gran entusiasmo otorgando su más amplio apoyo a la iniciativa."

Frankly I think you should probably just leave CAVER as is and perhaps add a note.

A pleasure as always, Taña! Un abrazo.

Interesting! "una Iglesia Cristiana" certainly fits "Evangélico" (if it were Catholic they would just have said "la Iglesia").
Note from asker:
Thanks Charles. Great research as always. I looked and I couldn't find "diddly squat". I am assisting someone else, so I will put your suggestion to them, along with your recommendation. Again, thank you so much. Great! Taña
Still a bit of a mystery, but thought you may wish to know (but at this point we will probably do as you originally suggested). http://biblioteca.uahurtado.cl/ujah/reduc/pdf/pdf/4555.pdf La verdad era que el local que iba a servir para realizar las actividades del Centro estaba ocupado por una serie de arrendatarios que destinaban las salas para oficinas. Es así como había un abogado, un contador, unos transportistas y un artesano en mimbre que tenían copada casi la mitad del local, a lo que habría que agregar que en este mismo lugar funcionaba la Biblioteca Municipal de Curanilahue y al interior, en uno de los galpones, *****unos cursos auspiciados por el Instituto Caver, organismo de una Iglesia Cristiana, ***** todo esto hacía que prácticamente estuviera todo copado quedando só- lo para juntarse con la gente una sola sala donde ya se daban cursos de modas (llena de máquinas de coser), una sala de reuniones poco acogedora y una sala donde se guardaban muebles, de ahí entonces que el verdadero punto de encuentro fuera nuestra casa. ABC (Madrid) - 13/08/1977, p. 41 - ABC.es Hemeroteca http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/1977/08/13/041.html ALUMNO DE 103 AÑOS CONCEPCIÓN (CHILE) Un anciano más que centenario sigue en Concepción (Chile) un curso regular de alfabetización! junto con otros alumnos mayores de setenta años, todos los cuales concurren diariamente y con mucho entusiasmo a las clases. *****El curso es proporcionado por el centro audiovisual evangélico regional (Caver)******* y el anciano de mayor edad es Alfredo Enrique Troncoso, de ciento tres años, nacido en julio de 1874, quien sigue las clases junto a su esposa, que confiesa ochenta y tres años. El curso abarca veintiocho alumnos y no faltan las mujeres que aun cuando evidencian- tener más de ochenta años, sólo confiesan entre sesenta y setenta cumplidos.
