In a region where thousands of adults have interrupted or incomplete academic trajectories, Instituto de la Empresa, a higher education institute from Peru, brings a transformative educational model to Chile. Known for its practical, career-oriented programs, the institute specializes in serving adults who have not completed their technical or professional studies or have significant work experience without formal credentials.
The expansion to Chile begins with academic campaigns offering virtual programs that prioritize accessibility, flexibility, and recognition of prior experience. This move responds to a clear need in the Chilean market for non-traditional educational solutions that allow individuals to resume or complete their academic path without starting from scratch.
A Peruvian model with proven success
Founded in Peru, Instituto de la Empresa has earned recognition for its efficient and accessible educational approach. Its virtual programs focus on adult learners who face barriers to traditional education systems, either due to work, family obligations, or previous educational interruptions. By designing its curricula around real-world competencies and offering flexible schedules, the institute provides a practical alternative for working professionals.
With its growing impact in Peru, the institute has proven that technical education can be an effective first step toward long-term professional and academic success, especially when aligned with the needs of modern adult learners.
Connecting experience with academic recognition
One of the key features of Instituto de la Empresa’s model is its ability to validate prior knowledge and work experience. Through a combination of diagnostic evaluations and credit recognition, adult learners can fast-track their path to a formal technical degree. This strategy not only reduces the time and cost of completing studies but also values the contributions and skills gained outside the classroom.
This method is particularly relevant in Chile, where a significant percentage of adults have started but not completed postsecondary education, often due to economic or logistical barriers. Instituto de la Empresa offers a second chance at formal education, not by erasing the past, but by building upon it.
Pathway to university and postgraduate degrees
As a member of the Global Academic Network (GAN), Instituto de la Empresa opens doors far beyond technical education. Graduates can continue their studies at the university level through partnerships with international institutions such as Blackwell Global University, a U.S.-based university recognized for its flexible and fully online programs.
Thanks to this academic pathway, students can transition from technical education to university degrees, and ultimately pursue master’s programs, completing the full educational cycle in a format designed for adults with active professional lives. This connection between levels of education represents a rare and valuable opportunity for academic advancement across borders.
Digital learning with international standards
Instituto de la Empresa’s success lies in its ability to combine quality, flexibility, and international alignment. All programs are delivered online, allowing students from any part of Chile to access higher education regardless of geographic location. The platform is structured to meet international quality standards, and content is updated to reflect current industry demands in fields such as business, marketing, logistics, public administration, and management.
Furthermore, the institute’s virtual learning environment includes academic support, practical assignments, and skill-based assessment, ensuring that students receive an education that is both accessible and professionally relevant.
A new opportunity for the Chilean workforce
The launch of Instituto de la Empresa’s academic offerings in Chile, even in campaign format, represents a meaningful step forward in education access for the country’s adult population. With rising demand for mid-career training, credential completion, and university access, the institute is poised to make a tangible impact on the Chilean workforce.
This educational model not only meets a practical need—it also speaks to broader trends in lifelong learning, digital education, and the global recognition of professional experience. As labor markets evolve, the ability to resume and complete education is no longer a luxury but a necessity.
Looking ahead: A regional vision
Although the current operations are centered on outreach and targeted enrollment campaigns, Instituto de la Empresa aims to grow its presence in Chile and across the region. Its long-term vision includes forming local partnerships and becoming a regional benchmark in technical education for adults, offering full academic mobility from basic training to postgraduate degrees.
By redefining what educational continuity looks like, especially for adults who once had to set their academic goals aside, Instituto de la Empresa positions itself as a strategic and human-centered actor in the future of higher education in Latin America.
