Building an Information Technology Industry

Guatemala is a country of great opportunities and therefore of great challenges. With about 18 million inhabitants, is an economic engine in the Central American region; however, 23.36% of the population is in a situation of Extreme Poverty (they survive with less than one dollar a day) and additionally, 35.93% live in a situation of Poverty; the illiteracy rate exceeds 20% of the population. (Source: Bank of Guatemala, year 2018). The highest rate of poverty is concentrated in the north and northwest of the country.

Despite this situation, its population is extremely hard-working and committed, they are friendly, cheerful and helpful. Technical education can be extremely good and even specialized. It is common to find self-taught young people who are overqualified for the job in which they are placed, due to the lack of opportunities in the sector.

Much of the education is bilingual (Spanish and English) because of its proximity to the United States, since there is a lot of trade between Guatemala and the United States, as well as tourism and culture. In some regions in the interior you can speak up to 3 languages, if we add your local language (in Guatemala there are 21 Mayan languages).

One of the great advantages is that in most of the towns and urbanized cities in the interior there is a good cell and Internet coverage, this greatly facilitates remote work, co-working spaces or local work centers.

The communities, because of their social structure, are highly collaborative with initiatives that generate employment and social welfare.
