'''Key Tactics'''

*Prepare the course program
*Train potential UTEC professors or hire a new professor.
*Present the course to SUNEDU (National Superintendency of Higher University Education in Peru).
*Determine course capacity based on pre-enrollment and available resources.
*Launch the course for students to enroll. 

'''June 2021 Update:'''
During 2021 we have collaborated with the Academic Projects area and we are about to start an intensive one-month [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I4DjVNbQ7DYx71Euk1zg7gNTkmV2uxY2/view?usp=sharing workshop] that will serve as our pilot program. This workshop will be given in June to UTEC students qualified to take their "Real Life Experience" (RLE) course. We hope that with this workshop, they can take better advantage of the projects they do during their RLE.
