Written by Karla Gutiérrez

El Salvador has made major agreements with companies like Google and Amazon that will come to the country to modernize various sectors; and these technology giants will generate jobs in the region, which means that skilled and trained labor is needed in this type of area.

The Government is preparing young people to be qualified in the area of technology with the 01/2024 propaedeutic course to study Técnico Superior Universitario (TSU) at the Escuela Superior de Innovación y Tecnología (ESIT).

Approximately 10,000 students are enrolled in the platform, they will enter the propaedeutic course and then, on january 20, they will take an exam that will allow them to enter the Técnico Superior Universitario.

The ESIT programs have been developed with the Ministry of Education, as an alternative to train the population in four important areas: cybersecurity, cloud services, open source software development and data center operation.

Education is a fundamental right, therefore, we invest in the training and specialization of the youth with the development of a program focused on the use of technologies, which will contribute not only to the improvement of the skills of human talent, but also to the attraction of investments, improvement of the local economy and, consequently, of the quality of life of the population.
