TRAINING AND EDUCATION
Our training and education area offers flexible training adapted to the needs of each organization, from senior management to public officials. Our team of experts designs cutting-edge training experiences in artificial intelligence to strengthen the skills of human talent in Latin America.
LEARN ABOUT OUR TRAINING AND EDUCATION MODEL
- Awareness raising: In this first stage we seek to raise awareness about the impact and relevance of artificial intelligence in today’s world. We facilitate an initial understanding of how AI transforms industries and organizations, preparing participants for deeper learning in later stages.
- Digital Literacy: The introductory track will allow establishing a common base of knowledge regarding the technology: origin, scope, dilemmas and potential. It is essential to have a common and shared language and knowledge.
- Strategy: This track delves into the application of the industry from a strategic perspective. How to generate value? How to identify opportunities? How to manage the development of solutions?
- Practical use: this track provides specific technical tools for project executors and specific users. From programming language to effective prompting techniques, depending on the audience.

TESTIMONIALS
“Our experience with CENIA has been very enriching. In particular, we highlight the flexibility of the team to be able to hold talks and workshops according to the needs of each activity. Furthermore, the exhibitions are always very dynamic, relevant to the context and in simple language that allows you to learn complex topics in a didactic and entertaining way, always with a lot of closeness on the part of the exhibitors.”

“I am convinced that after a program like GerencIA we are all much better prepared to face the challenges presented by artificial intelligence, in a more responsible way and with a much stronger ethical component. I also believe that a very powerful network of people who love AI and who want to learn much more is being created, therefore, I believe that it will favor not only the technical, but also the collaboration that is fundamental.”
María Francisca Yáñez
Independent Board Member
“The most valuable thing I take away from the GerencIA program is the number of professors, the lateral thinking that is generated with the students, the debate, the questions and the opportunity that exists for Chile and Latin America in artificial intelligence. I think we have approached AI from all possible angles, and the reflection has been growing as a whole. It has been a safe space to share the knowledge one brings and incorporate new knowledge. ”
