Capacidades educativas de Tamaulipas para el desarrollo de capital humano en la industria de semiconductores: diagnóstico del nivel medio superior y superior

This research aimed to evaluate the level of vocational programs and subjects related to the semiconductor industry, focusing on human capital training in secondary and higher education levels. A mixed-methods approach was used to analyze institutional coverage, infrastructure, and program offerings. Through a review of documents and official data from the Tamaulipas Education Ministry, as well as interviews with officials and teachers, it was found that technical programs showed limited progress. Also, while there is evidence of teacher training, significant improvements in infrastructure and curriculum updates are necessary. This research suggests a need to innovate programs and courses tailored to the semiconductor industry by providing teachers with training in new academic topics, thereby equipping students with the knowledge required in the field. Evidence indicates that Tamaulipas has potential but requires increased investment and greater integration between academia and industry.
