There is no better or worse modality, each one has its particular characteristics and advantages.Face -to -face education allows direct relationship with classmates and teachers;It was previously believed that it was something unique that led to physical environments, but thanks to technology and adaptation to virtuality, distance training also has these same advantages since it is possible to establish contact through different interactive technological tools.

The expert adds that “virtual education provides new possibilities that a few years ago were impossible to do.For example, it offers geographical and time flexibility;provides the possibility of adjusting the studies to the rhythm and disposition of the student.In addition, it offers the possibility of opting for prestigious studies in schools from other countries.Virtual education includes the technological tools of online resources as a competitive advantage, in order to expand learning methods ”.

Another relevant aspect of virtual training at international level is the cultural exchange that occurs with teachers and students, which is enriching and promotes a competitive advantage to professionals.



National or international education

In Colombia, according to some studies, of graduated high schools only 40% immediately enter higher education.And less than half do so in accredited institutions in high quality.

Güell recommends that the pedagogical proposal of the offer of online higher studies and international institutions or academic partners that support their proposal be analyzed.

In addition, it is relevant to verify if the institution's programs have accreditations or are included in international rankings that guarantee a high quality of programs.

The professional careers of the future

In Colombia, the best projection races are Systems, Medicine, Law and Administration Engineering;Among the most welcome masters are bioenergy, systems and computing, digital security and artificial intelligence.

Internationally, the races with greater demand are: Master in Project Management, Master in the Directorate of Production and Improvement of Industrial Processes and Master in Digital Marketing, Growth Hacking and Ecommerce.

Similarly, Güell adds that “the programs related to the information technology sector are the highest growth projection worldwide.The fourth industrial revolution that is being carried out in the world has accelerated the demand for new professionals in the technological field.The implementation of technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of things and the constant digitalization of different industries and sectors, makes professionals trained in this field highly demanded ”.
