León, Gto. — Siemens Mexico has certified over 30,000 students in industrial digitalization tools, reaffirming its commitment to preparing future talent for the workforce. This initiative aims to integrate young professionals into the job market by combining wisdom and experience, which the company identifies as essential for business success.
Alejandro Preinfalk, CEO of Siemens Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, emphasized the importance of curiosity and a growth mindset in Mexican students. “Curiosity is the key ingredient for students to thrive and become industry leaders,” he stated.
Preinfalk highlighted Mexico’s potential to excel globally, provided that students maintain their sense of wonder and eagerness to learn. “A growth-oriented attitude is fundamental. We must not think we know everything already. The technologies and tools are available, but we need the right mindset to take full advantage of them,” he added.
Dual Education: A Proven Model
Siemens also promotes the “Dual Education” methodology, a strategy combining theory and practice. Originating in Germany, this model allows technical high school students to learn in the classroom while gaining hands-on experience in companies under direct mentorship. “This combination delivers excellent results, as it enables young people to seamlessly transition into the labor market,” Preinfalk explained.
Innovation and Sustainability
In addition to fostering talent, Siemens offers industrial digitalization and sustainability solutions. These include technologies for decarbonization and energy efficiency, designed to connect the physical and digital worlds and make industries more efficient and competitive.
130 Years of Legacy in Mexico
With over 130 years in Mexico, Siemens has left its mark across multiple sectors, from lighting Paseo de la Reforma and introducing the first electric train to advancements in industrial automation and healthcare equipment. The company’s impact has been particularly notable over the last two decades, driven by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Through these initiatives, Siemens reaffirms its dedication to digital transformation and sustainable development, positioning Mexico as a key player in the era of modern industrialization.
