Abstract

One of the obstacles to development faced by Chile is,undoubtedly, the low
productivity of labor and the lack of a timely inclusion of new technologies to all the activities conducted in the country. Higher education centers have a dutyto make a contribution in both espects, by preparing technicaland professional cadres, who will be responsible for directing the process of producing goods and services in the country.

The educational model implemented by DuocUC is aimed at training students
for the world of work through programs designed especially to achieve labor
competency. For this purpose, it relies on the advice of the Consejos empresariales (Business Councils), formed by people directly related to activities in which future graduates will work. The theoreticalknowledge that these students acquire, together with a practicalapplication of what they
have learned in laboratories that allowsimulating the reality they will find in the world of work, provides a guarantee of experience in the use of current technologies.
