Networking Diagnosing

As CENIGRAF located in Bogotá is the leader of the graphic industry network at national level, every day it is necessary to strengthen networking.  Being located in the capital city where a large number of graphic industries sector are concentrated, CENIGRAF requires to increase judicious work to strengthen its communication tools, spreading and strengthening of the sector to enable it to develop the potential of leadership to keep up the  world class sector that Graphic communication is.

Currently the center has platforms for training support to orient programs, blended learning and virtual training, strength trained instructors at national and international level, processes of labor skills certification, and quality system coming increasingly they are working not only for the improvement of the processes, but also for worker’s health safety and the care and environmental protection. The structure of this SENA’s quality system and these processes’ support can be seen at: http://www.sena.edu.co/acerca-del-sena/quienes-somos/Paginas/Sistema-Integrado-de-Gestion.aspx
CENIGRAF has a blog where information focuses on the history, training programs, events and announcements in which learners can, or have participated, directory, news and a link to allow citizens to directly contact the center and get information and guide.  This blog’s address is http://comunicaciongraficasena.blogspot.com.co/

Talking about trends to 2030, where the digital age will be a powerful component development and process improvement, leaders in enterprises shall have skills in the management of TICs, as a strong tool in establishing new channels of communication and changing the nature of personal and professional relationships. Here it is very important the role of teachers in the development of these competences for bringing to the productive sector human talent with a new vision, not only in the comprehensive management of a set of general and technical knowledge but also values ​​such as humanism, that search social justice although still prevails despite, the shortage of resources and social inequality. It is also important: products achieving increasingly higher quality, with added values ​​such as the use of materials friendly with the environment, and like seeking alliances with state’s enterprises as the district secretary of the environment can become beneficial to the productive sector.



In order to improve the bridge that exists between CENIGRAF and the working life sector.  It is a good challenge to strenght  the apprentices follow up and the co-formers competences and get a real impact into the performance of the programs that CENIGRAF offers.

It is not who you are but whom you know



It is not who you are but whom you know

If we talk about who we are as individual teachers forgetting about who we are into the context SENA, like an island, the real sense of the vocational training will be lost.  Although there are many SENA centers around the country, the reality is that each center performs the comprehensive professional education on its own way, by the other side if we take advantage of the networks like misena mail and internal networks and tools ( platforms on line) the share of experiences would result in a better performance of the vocational training.

On the way to the future



The documents reviewed about the World in 2030 highlights and the one where CEPAL gives a  view about latinomerica`s options for the future, are good  tools when proposing projects in the framework of professional comprehensive training.  The problems approach, by itself originated from individual and collective needs gives rise to alternative solutions to the different economic sectors. It is vital the role that education plays in the search for balance between human, economic, social and environmental development and in this sense it is interesting that as a teacher, each one  initially assumes the role of guide and mentor but finally as a projection of the teacher`s life project he/she becomes in another member of the team that achieve in the apprentices a profile of individual thinker and protagonist of his/her own formation process as part of their life plan or professional development plan. 
When we talk about empowering people to pursue strategies of leadership and management  of resources, we are talking about improving the quality of the teacher's performance, considering that probably in near future cultural factors are going to persist such as social inequality, the scarcity of food and resources, and accelerated climate change; As Colombia has a lot of natural and human resources, I consider that  the closest approximation   in the case of our country, to get high quality in education and improving in the productivity of different sectors is the achievement of peace, or at least keep looking for it  in the way of achieving it, I believe that these negotiations will allow us some day to close a little gap between rich and poor people and probably will help to get a revival of the middle class.
