The Logistics and Mobility Cluster of the State of Guanajuato (CLYMGTO) advances in professionalization projects in the cargo transportation and logistics sector. During a recent meeting, members of the organization exchanged dialogues with various educational institutions to train companies located in Guanajuato, and outlined the work agenda for the coming months.
In an interview for T21, Enrique González, president of CLYMGTO, explained that with the aim of training companies in a better way, the cluster has encouraged collaboration with the Universidad Iberoamericana , an institution that prepared a course focused on family protocols and corporate governance. .
“In Mexico many of the companies are family-owned and it is sad that sometimes in the second or third generation they can begin to disappear. In response to this fact, the Ibero-American University teaches a six-month course with in-person and virtual classes to companies in the region, with the aim of guiding them in the transition,” the businessman explained.
Likewise, the Institute of Technology and Higher Studies of Monterrey , through its CIEN Technology Park, offers training so that transportation continues to become more professional. “We have to continue working hard on processes and strategic planning, this educational institution provides basic training (FoBa) to companies, the interests of growth as a company are shared, policies and procedures are also established, but analyzes of these are also carried out. topics. In short, they provide support to companies on how to establish processes,” González shared.
Likewise, the CLYMGTO received a visit from members of the State Training Institute of the State of Guanajuato (IECA Guanajuato) , which is one of the most prominent driver training centers. González said that to date the educational center has trained more than 600 drivers. This becomes relevant since some freight trucking companies have already replicated the institute’s educational model, which is contributing to the professionalization of operators .
The president of CLYMGTO also shared that the National Chamber of Cargo Transportation (Canacar) Bajío Region is working on the construction of a test track for the preparation of drivers. “We are also promoting the availability of dormitories at the Silao training center so that internships can be done in this location,” he indicated.
During the meeting, an agreement was also signed with the Bernardo Chávez Institute for students in careers related to logistics and transportation to do internships in motor transportation companies.
Likewise, González explained that the Guanajuato Puerto Interior 2 project will be relevant for the development of the state and the sector. “ We continue working on logistics platforms , which is nothing more than an industrial park to enhance multimodal cargo. We have made substantial progress, but we still need to work on many areas to get where we want,” he stated.
The businessman commented that the CLYMGTO meeting was attended by representatives of the Bajío International Airport with whom a synergy will be sought so that the airport becomes an important cargo distribution point.
“What we are looking for is for their services to expand and to have food grade, grain, deconsolidation chambers, among others. Our work in the coming months will be to incorporate air transport to a greater extent and take advantage of the multimodality of the state,” he explained.
Finally, González reported that this year new activities are being prepared for the Transportation Logistics Forum; He announced that the possibility of extending the event to two days is being analyzed with the aim of having a full agenda of conferences in addition to the exhibition hall.
