The launch of the State Technical Training Center of the Ñuble Region is planned for 2026. This was announced by Governor Óscar Crisóstomo together with the Undersecretary of Higher Education, Víctor Orellana; and deputy Felipe Camaño; who also announced the steps to follow for the implementation of this new establishment.
In this regard, Governor Crisóstomo emphasized that “we want to tell our young people that the region will have a State CFT that will allow them to have more opportunities and that also gives greater peace of mind to our families, to be able to add trained human capital and project it in our territory, which is so important; but, mainly, keep in mind that the opportunities that have been denied for so long; Today, little by little, in these years of work they have begun to open up.” He added that “the commitment begins with having the feasibility study to define the commune and a bill and, in this way, in 2026 we will be starting the State CFT in our region.”
Regarding the steps to follow for the development of this initiative, Undersecretary Orellana explained that “we had a debt, public education was not present at this educational level that is so relevant for development such as technical training and, for this, together with the governor and to Congressman Camaño, and of the many actors who have carried out this issue, we are going to start a path, first, asking the University of Bío – Bío for a study, which is going to take the technical matter of the matter, carrying out a study of prefeasibility that identifies where it is needed and with what academic offer. At the same time, we are carrying out work that will allow us to stabilize the sector, get out of a deficit logic that the first Technical Training Centers in the State had and begin during 2024 and 2025, the work so that hopefully in 2026 we will have this instance already available for the region. We do this very seriously, it will involve studies of a technical nature and this is very important, because we want the opportunities to be where they are most needed.”
On the other hand, Deputy Camaño referred to the importance of implementing this public policy successfully, “recognizing above all the identity and everything we know today in terms of unemployment and the negative figures that our region is having, where we believe that through education and educational tools for our young people we can reverse this situation, but above all identify what our own identities are in terms of productivity and also in terms of trades (…) and stop seeing not only Ñuble as a new region that has many problems, but to see a region that has many possibilities and many proposals for the future. That is why we appreciate the commitment of the Government, but also of the Regional Government, in the sense of being able to do this collaboratively, being a virtuous chain, which at the end of the day ends up benefiting the neighbors of our region.”
It should be noted that Ñuble was the only region that did not have this type of establishments created by Law No. 20,910 and that seek to strengthen public education and human development in each territory of the country.
