Mexico City, September 27, 2022- Within the framework of the AWS Summit Mexico City 2022, Universidad Panamericana and Amazon Web Services (AWS) signed a collaboration agreement.
The agreement seeks to expand skills in the global use of the cloud, as well as prepare groups of students for cloud jobs and empower them to access AWS technology, thereby creating a much more inclusive technology industry that enables people of different backgrounds and profiles.
The event was attended by Dr. Fernanda Llergo Bay, Rector General of Universidad Panamericana and IPADE; while AWS Enterprise Enablement was attended by Carolina Piña, Head for Latin America; Guillermo Almada, Country Manager for the Public Sector in Mexico and Luis Velasco, Country Director for the Private Sector in our country.
Pan American Impact
This agreement will impact more than 30,000 members of our university community, including undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, professors and collaborators from all campuses.
Likewise, this agreement seeks to promote a culture of women in technology, which is why, in particular, it aims to impact women through coaching, which will allow them to obtain jobs related to the cloud.
Likewise, this union will provide resources for the researchers of our university and the projects they promote and will reinforce the training for the Digital Transformation area of Panamericana, for the implementation of technologically critical projects.
Social transformation
In her message, Dr. Llergo said: "Panamericana advances driven from the university tradition articulated with innovation. Undoubtedly, access to new technologies, such as smartphones, which are used by almost two thirds of Mexicans, and the growing Internet connection, demand that we train in new skills, and support groups that have not had access to them, so that these new opportunities are also a factor of social transformation".
Carolina Piña commented, "The market reports a significant technology talent gap in the Latin American region. At AWS we have a global commitment to train 29 million people in cloud skills by 2025, but we cannot close this talent gap alone".
He added: "Collaborations like this one with Panamericana help us to foster innovation and make members of the university community more competitive in the job market.
The Universidad Panamericana seeks to promote a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship based on technology and humanistic leadership that favors the generation of solutions that have an impact on the benefit of people and that meet the challenges that the market and society demand on a daily basis.
