AWS will train 20,000 entrepreneurs in digital skills

Carolina Piña, AWS mass training leader for Latin America, stressed that this agreement intends to promote the transformation of the industrial sector and promote technological adoption in the country.

How will entrepreneurs be trained?

According to Piña, the program will be based on transmitting the fundamentals around the operation of the cloud, but it will also provide access to advice from technology experts and support with the innovation nodes in the 76 offices of the Chamber in the country.

“It is about executing a change in thinking to adopt digital models and abandon manual processes,” said the AWS representative, who also explained that this initiative will have an impact on the financial and operational efficiency of companies.

Although the most basic concepts about the cloud will be taught, there will also be more advanced consultancies and universities will be used to train students, teachers and even upskill their graduates.

The trainings and consultancies will be given both in an online format, but also live, to complement the experience and resolve some of the main doubts of businessmen. Gómez highlighted that the first results are expected after a year, in addition to reaching areas of the country that are less digitally developed.

AWS will open Local Zone in Querétaro

In February, AWS announced the opening of a “Local Zone” in Querétaro, in order to promote ventures in the region, since it will have database services, in addition to reducing latency for clients in the region.

“What we want to do is accelerate cloud adoption and migration for the benefit of our customers,” Andrés Tahta, general director for the public sector of AWS Latin America, said at the time.

Tahta stressed that this new “Local Zone” will give greater opportunity to public and private sector ventures and applications to offer more services.

On the other hand, AWS already has an impact at the government level. In Michoacán, for example, cloud services were integrated to expedite the renewal of license plates for more than 3 million cars in 113 municipal centers, where times were reduced from four hours to 20 minutes per procedure.
