El pasado viernes 4 de noviembre en Durazno, se realizó la entrega del certificado “Desarrollo de aplicaciones y Testing», a la primera generación de estudiantes de la Tecnicatura en Tecnologías de la Información de la Universidad Tecnológica (UTEC).
The award ceremony was attended by the UTEC Advisor, Lic. Graciela Do Mato, the representative of the Uruguayan Air Force (FAU), May. (Av.) María Eugenia Etcheverry and the Coordinator of the course, Lic.
During the speech, they talked about the challenge that this blended learning career meant for UTEC, the strategic alliances with the FAU for the on-site logistics and with the Uruguayan Chamber of Information Technology (CUTI) to build a curriculum aligned to the needs of the IT industry.
I know that for the students and for the family this is a very special moment and I know that it generates interest in the population, it is a commitment for the whole family environment, everyone makes an effort for this to be achieved and carried out, in addition to the group of tutors and very well trained people who have been able to follow Monica Silvestri on this path". Do Mato
Silvestri assured that the degree is possible thanks to the fact that a public university "dared to make a qualitative leap in education, especially in the modality of the degree", and also affirmed that it is important to have professionals in an industry that is having very auspicious news and is in constant growth.
Alvaro Lamé, President of CUTI, contextualised the importance of the IT sector at national level and the challenges that exist in terms of training professionals and the needs of the sector, as well as the Director of the Institute of Computing of the Faculty of Engineering of Udelar, Diego Vallespir.
«UTEC está logrando llegar al interior del país, a mucha gente que la industria necesita»

Más tarde, la generación de estudiantes recibió por parte de UTEC, una licencia «Genexus for students» como forma de complementar su formación técnica. Las licencias fueron entregadas por Aníbal Gonda y Jaime Zilberberg en representación de Genexus, y por el Secretario General de UTEC, MBA. Lic. Marcelo Martínez.
Finalizando la ceremonia, Martín Hernández -uno de los estudiantes en obtener el certificado- habló en representación de su generación, sintetizando en una palabra lo que para él ha sido la carrera: «oportunidad, de estudiar en casa, de estudiar lo que nos gusta sin tener que abandonar a nuestras familias”.
