Will Latin America lead or be a passive observer in the Fourth Industrial Revolution? Generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping the world, but its impact on the region will depend on one key factor: how we train our talent.
Colombia’s financial system is undergoing a historic transformation. The launch of Bre-B, the instant payment digital wallet managed by the Central Bank, promises to move us toward a more digital economy—one that relies less on cash and fosters greater financial inclusion.
In the race to deliver digital products faster and faster, many companies are falling into a dangerous trap: believing they must choose between speed and quality. This supposed dilemma is not only false—it’s also costly.
It won’t be in Silicon Valley’s innovation hubs where Latin America’s role in this era is defined. It will be in its classrooms, communities, and training centers where we decide whether this technology will close social gaps—or widen them.
GenAI has the potential to automate tasks, speed up processes, and create new business opportunities. But it also poses a real risk: becoming a tool of exclusion if much of the population lacks access to the skills needed to lead, design, and govern this technology. In response, IzyAcademy’s educational model—driven by Q‑Vision Technologies—emerges as a comprehensive and sustainable approach, built in the region and for the region.
The numbers speak for themselves. The 2024 “Talent and Artificial Intelligence” report by Microsoft Latin America reveals that 75% of companies see GenAI as a strategic priority, but only 21% believe their teams are ready to implement it. This gap isn’t just technical—it’s structural.
Leading institutions like ECLAC, the IDB, and UNESCO agree: without strong educational policies, GenAI could deepen existing inequalities. The World Economic Forum's 2023 report warns that the jobs most at risk of automation—administrative, operational, and service roles—are the ones that employ much of the region’s youth and women.
In this context, adopting technology without proper training is like building on shaky ground. What the region truly needs is not just to learn how to use GenAI, but to foster critical thinking, contextualized knowledge, and an active capacity for technological co-creation.
IzyAcademy is Q‑Vision Technologies' specialized training program, designed to close the talent gap in key technologies like quality assurance, automation, data analysis, and AI-driven development. Its approach blends technical knowledge with hands-on experience, empowering people at different skill levels to prepare for the real challenges of the digital world.
Learning by doing, learning by solving
IzyAcademy’s programs are rooted in hands-on learning — from the basics of functional QA to building automation frameworks with tools like Selenium, Cypress, or Katalon. Each learning path includes real exercises, guided technical challenges, and simulations that prepare students for what they’ll actually face in the workplace.
Accessible and scalable learning
With a 100% online, self-paced format, the platform is designed for people who juggle work, caregiving, or studies. No advanced background is required — everything starts from the fundamentals and progresses through clear modules, with support and ongoing feedback every step of the way.
Building tech talent for Latin America
In a region where access to tech opportunities isn’t always equal, IzyAcademy opens doors for young people, women, and professionals looking to reskill or grow into fields like banking, healthcare, technology, and education. The program is inclusive, flexible, and designed for the Latin American context.
Training with a future-ready vision
IzyAcademy goes beyond courses — it offers career-aligned learning paths that reflect the most in-demand tech roles in Latin America. And it does so with a clear goal: to build real capabilities that boost the region’s digital autonomy and prepare its workforce to thrive in a world driven by AI, automation, and the knowledge economy.
Training with purpose, practice, and vision — that’s IzyAcademy.
GenAI represents a crossroads for Latin America. It can either deepen the region’s inequality or become a powerful tool for equity, innovation, and human development. The path we take depends on the quality, accessibility, and relevance of the training models we invest in today.
Latin America has the talent. It has the needs. It even has the urgency. What it now needs is the will and vision to shape a generation that won’t just use GenAI — but one that will question it, mold it, and adapt it to its own challenges.
IzyAcademy shows this is not a promise — it's already happening.
Because training people to program machines matters. But training people to think about their impact — that’s what truly shapes the future.
