Summary
La baja productividad de la mano de obra y la falta de incorporación oportuna de las tecnologías a todas las actividades del país, constituyen, sin duda, un freno para nuestro desarrollo. El modelo educativo de DuocUC tiene como objetivo preparar a los estudiantes para el mundo del trabajo, a través de programas diseñados con una orientación específica a fin de alcanzar las competencias laborales. Para ello cuenta con la asesoría de Consejos empresariales, constituidos por personas directamente relacionadas con las actividades en las que se desempeñarán los futuros egresados. La entrega de conocimientos teóricos, junto con la aplicación práctica de los mismos, en laboratorios que permiten simular la realidad que encontrarán en su desempeño profesional, les ofrece asimismo garantías de experiencia en el uso de las tecnologías actuales
