The first class of the Sustainable Energy Technician program at the Centro de Estudios Científicos y Tecnológicos (CECyT) 7 "Cuauhtémoc" graduated on Thursday, June 27.

In recent decades, the world has faced a series of energy and environmental challenges that have highlighted the urgent need to transition to a more sustainable development model. Climate change, dependence on fossil fuels, and the growing energy demand have driven governments, businesses, and communities to seek cleaner and more efficient alternatives. In this context, the creation of this educational program addresses several fundamental needs. The objective of the Sustainable Energy program is to train technicians and professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to design, implement, and manage energy systems that utilize renewable sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower.

As a result, the recent graduates are well-prepared to contribute to the sustainable development of the country by promoting the efficient and responsible use of natural resources.

The training of the 47 members of this first graduating class spanned two years, during which they developed into highly skilled technicians in the field of renewable energy. Of these graduates, 19 attended the morning shift and 28 the evening shift. According to school authorities, this achievement reflects the commitment and dedication of both the students and the teaching staff.

The curriculum was carefully designed to cover both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of renewable energy. The programs were developed in 2019 in collaboration with experts from CECyT 2, 7, and 11, as well as contributions from private companies in the field.

The graduates completed various projects involving the installation of photovoltaic systems, utilizing advanced tools and simulators to design and optimize these systems. These activities not only provided them with technical skills but also fostered a practical and applied approach to real-world energy challenges.
