Nissan Donates Over 50 Engines to Conalep to Train 40,000 Students in Automotive Education

Rodrigo Centeno, President and General Director of Nissan Mexicana and INFINITI, explained that the intention is to align student training with the needs identified by the company in the labor market.

“We promote initiatives that provide students with practical experiences and knowledge aligned with the real needs of the labor market,” he stated.

On behalf of Conalep, its General Director, Rodrigo Rojas Navarrete, highlighted that these types of collaborations allow students to experience conditions similar to those they will encounter within companies.

“The development of specialized talent is one of the major challenges and, at the same time, one of the greatest opportunities for Mexico,” he affirmed.

It is worth mentioning that Nissan did not specify which Conalep campuses will receive the engines, nor how the more than 50 units will be distributed among the different regions of the country.

The alliance with Conalep is in addition to other training programs developed by Nissan in Mexico. Among these is Universidad Nissan, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary and has graduated 518 students across 14 cohorts, with programs related to manufacturing, finance, and operations.

The automaker also operates Nissan School, a professional internship program with nearly three decades of existence. According to the company, its educational strategy also includes over 100 scholarships for young people from vulnerable communities and programs linked to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
