ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) appropriation refers to the process by which individuals, communities, companies and entities acquire the skills, knowledge and resources necessary to effectively use ICTs in their daily lives or in their work and social activities. It involves not only having access to technology, but also understanding how to use it in a meaningful and productive way.

ICT appropriation includes aspects such as training, which involves knowing how to use computers, mobile devices and software, as well as everything related to cutting-edge technological topics such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, among others, and their impact on business productivity. It also relates to understanding the opportunities offered by ICT, such as communication, online education, access to information and services, and participation in the digital society.

At CINTEL, we seek to empower individuals and businesses to effectively use ICTs and leverage their benefits in various aspects of life.

Depending on the level of digital maturity of the target population or the company and its culture, there are different approaches to reach the expected appropriation result, from classical training to more intensive approaches using co-creation methodologies, change management and psychology.

In the Center we offer ICT Appropriation services through two modalities from the point of view of its target audience, specific activities for business clients or customized ICT appropriation and given its sectorial approach, training open to the general public, which are detailed below:
