Duvergé, Independencia Province. – The Community Technological Centers (CTC) turned the border municipality of Duvergé into the epicenter of knowledge and technological training with the Digital Border event, an initiative that brought together more than 120 participants, including youth, children, and adults, to receive high-level training in digital competencies.
The initiative, led by the general director of the CTCs, Isidro Torres, offered a comprehensive program of workshops and conferences aimed at preparing the community for entry into the productive market, promoting entrepreneurship, and improving the quality of life.
“This technological event is fulfilling its objective: the massive and enthusiastic participation of the public demonstrates that in the deep south, especially in the border area, there is a great interest in strengthening and consolidating their technical-professional training,” Torres highlighted.
He also stated, “We want every young person in this region to have the tools in their hands to compete, start a business, and thrive. The border is not a barrier, it is an opportunity, and access to knowledge is the key that opens those doors.”
The program covered areas of high demand in the current market, such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence with ChatGPT, multimedia content creation with Canva, digital marketing and social media, Internet of Things (IoT), design and sublimation for startups, as well as web development techniques and project financing strategies.
Each module was designed with a practical approach, allowing attendees to apply the knowledge immediately and expand their opportunities for integration into the productive and technological sector. The event concluded with the delivery of 112 certificates, recognizing the effort and dedication of the participants.
Torres emphasized that these types of initiatives are part of the CTCs’ firm commitment to closing the digital divide and bringing technological training to the most remote and vulnerable places in the country:
“In every training session we carry out at the border, we sow progress. These communities have the potential; they only need the tools and support to take off toward a fairer and more competitive future.”
The event was made possible thanks to the coordinated work of the Operations Department, under the leadership of Manelix de León, Atahualpa Pérez, Dessire Pérez, and Ángela Gómez from the General Services area, in close coordination with zonal coordinator Jerrifer de Jesús, cultural manager Maller Morillo, and a committed team of center collaborators, who guaranteed the logistical and organizational success of the activity.
With Digital Border, the CTCs reaffirm their commitment to digital inclusion, continuous training, and sustainable development in the most vulnerable communities in the south of the country.
