On December 5th, 2024, Wawiwa Tech signed a new partnership with Universidad Andrés Bello (UNAB), one of the top private universities in Chile. This partnership is a major milestone for Wawiwa, marking its first partnership in Chile, and promotes tech education and reskilling opportunities across the Latin American region.

Wawiwa Tech, a global leader in reskilling and upskilling people to tech and business jobs in high demand, offers its university partners like UNAB career-oriented tech training programs that incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) modules.

UNAB will initially offer Wawiwa’s Full-Stack Developer Program, delivered as a bootcamp, reskilling individuals to job-ready Full-Stack Developers in just 9 months, even if they have no prior background in tech or coding. UNAB and Wawiwa both envision the expansion of the partnership in the near future to additional tech training programs, such as Frontend Development, UX/UI Design, Digital Marketing, DevOps, and Cybersecurity.

Álvaro Cepeda-Ortiz, Director of Continuing Education and Corporate Services at UNAB, brings a wealth of expertise to this partnership. An Industrial Civil Engineer with a Master’s Degree in Operations Management and a Doctorate in Business Administration, Álvaro has extensive experience in educational management, technology, and business consulting. His knowledge in strategic planning, digital transformation, project management, and IT development ensures that UNAB’s collaboration with Wawiwa will be impactful in addressing Chile’s tech skills gap and empowering learners for high-demand careers.

At the signing ceremony, Álvaro Cepeda-Ortiz said:

"This partnership combines UNAB’s academic excellence with Wawiwa’s innovative, industry-relevant content. Together, we’re creating training programs that go beyond theory, offering practical experiences aligned with the job market demands. This collaboration equips our students with the tools to excel and drives regional technological growth, fostering economic development and enterprise competitiveness.
