Thanks to the collaboration agreement, management and access to training in the context of digital transformation is facilitated for all companies in the value chain, especially SMEs.
Within the framework of this collaboration, the president of CEAGA, Roberto Cavallo, accompanied by the Regional Minister of Entrepreneurship and Equality, María Jesús Lorenzana, made a visit to the facilities of this professional training center, where they could see first-hand some leading classrooms that provide differential value to the industry.
At this meeting, Roberto Cavallo highlighted “the great opportunity for the sector to have access to facilities equipped with advanced technologies with leading professional media through which 25,000 professionals from the automotive industry will be able to pass”.
