"CEFIM es dual: innovación suiza que transforma vidas"
La Paz (Bolivia), 7 de octubre de 2026
Estudiantes, empresas aliadas, especialistas y autoridades se reunieron en la sede del Instituto Técnico CEFIM para reflexionar e intercambiar experiencias sobre la formación profesional dual, en un evento que buscaba, entre otras cosas, fortalecer los lazos entre los diferentes actores del sector.
Desde DESK Hospitality, pudimos compartir a través de una videoconferencia las lecciones aprendidas durante 10 años de proyectos internacionales con entidades que, como CEFIM, se inspiran en el modelo dual suizo para ofrecer una formación en la que los alumnos no solo cultivan destrezas prácticas, sino también aptitud para la adaptación, responsabilidad, colaboración y autoconfianza.

When a young woman completes her training at the Pearlcrest Hospitality Training Institute in Uganda, the positive impact doesn't stop with her. Her family eats better. Debts are paid off. Women who once struggled to get through the week are now supporting others in their communities.
This webinar demonstrated how this transformation occurs and why mentoring, rather than just the curriculum, is at the heart of it.
