With the purpose of providing students with the necessary tools to develop their technological skills, the German company Siemens donated 200 software licenses to four higher education institutions in Chihuahua.
Each license, valued at more than one million pesos, was donated by Siemens and will be distributed among Conalep, ITCH, ITCH II, UTCH and UTCH Sur, benefiting more than 3,000 students. The symbolic delivery of these licenses was presided over by José Jesús Jordan Orozco, Director of Economic Development and Competitiveness, who highlighted the importance of this collaboration between the State Government, the Municipal Government and the educational institutions, considering it a significant step in the modernization of education. He also mentioned that the donated software, which is part of the 4.0 hardware automation technology, will be used in universities for students to learn how to integrate technology with physical reality, which will improve their skills and facilitate their labor insertion after graduation.
“We are convinced that these licenses will have a great impact on students and that, once they graduate, they will find employment more easily thanks to what they have learned,” said Jordán.
For his part, Jaime Luciano Fernández Chávez, Director of Linkage of the Secretariat of Innovation and Economic Development, noted that the delivery of these licenses will open new job opportunities for young people. He added that the Secretariat is working on strategies so that students not only develop their skills, but also decide to stay in Chihuahua, contributing to turn the city into a technological center.
