The Guanajuato Logistics and Mobility Cluster (CLYMGTO) is advancing a strategy focused on the professionalization of the transportation sector and the development of key infrastructure to improve its operations.
More than 250 companies participated in the training processes promoted last year as part of the Guanajuato logistics cluster’s strategy to professionalize the transportation sector and raise the operational level of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), according to Enrique González , president of CLYMGTO.
The programs have included modules on the circular economy, family businesses, corporate governance, and strategic planning, in a coordinated effort with the Universidad Iberoamericana and the Instituto Estatal de Capacitación (IECA) , with whom an agreement has been in place since 2011, González explained.
He explained that the courses combine in-person and virtual sessions, as well as company visits. Seventeen companies participated in the most recent module , and up to 20 are expected to participate in the next one, with the possibility of dividing into two groups due to space constraints.
In addition to executive training, the cluster works on operator training through a tripartite model: the state government provides scholarships, employers make contributions, and commit to hiring graduates. Internships are currently held at Bicentennial Park, but a shunting strip and dormitories are planned for Silao, with a statewide reach.
In terms of infrastructure, the plan is also to reactivate a regional logistics center outside of urban areas, including communal courtyards, rest areas, and services for carriers. The model was inspired by a visit to Zaragoza, Spain.
Finally, the plan is to promote the installation of a cargo airport in Guanajuato, given the congestion in Querétaro and Guadalajara. It also aims to expand collaboration with universities and include topics such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) for entrepreneurs in the sector.
