Cultural Awareness for Global Business
We live in an increasingly multicultural and global business environment. More and more professionals need to know how to adeptly interact with people of other cultures, both from their own companies and from other companies.
Accordingly, we at MIT Professional Education have launched a program to help professionals thrive and operate effectively in this context of cultural diversity: Cultural Awareness for Global Business.
We want to equip you with the tools necessary to help your businesses and advance your careers. In this program, you will learn about culture’s enormous impact on how we see the world, so that you can learn to solve problems and to avoid needless, counterproductive misunderstandings when working with people from different cultural backgrounds.

MIT Professional Education
Fire Hydrant Award
Jerome Wiesner, former president of MIT (1971-1980), described the experience of studying at MIT as “drinking from a fire hydrant.” Life and learning at MIT require firmness, constancy and a great deal of determination. Our professional programs attempt to instill these competencies.
Thus, the Fire Hydrant Award was born. It recognizes those who demonstrate their dedication to learning, their ability to put knowledge into practice, and their adherence to core MIT values, including: excellence, courage, humility, curiosity, a passion for solving problems, and a desire to improve society.

TESTIMONIALS
The experience I acquired in the program was very enriching because it allowed us to understand from a human perspective the changes of the new revolution 4.0, where technologies are infinite, but it will be people who generate these changes, with a change first in how they work. I see digital transformation as a catalyst for profound changes in the way we interact with our main stakeholders.
I would recommend this course to more people!
Maria José Jaramillo Cedeño
– Labels and Packaging Unit Manager –
The impact of what I learned thanks to this training will be tremendously positive: It will be a facilitator of change and an injection of energy and new ideas for my whole team and my peers, and it will improve openness to new ideas and technologies. This course far surpassed my goal.
Óscar Quezada Torres
– IT Manager –
The experience was extremely enriching. I have met many professionals from differetn places, and the feedback I obtained is invaluable.
Pedro José Guerrero Escobar
– General Manager –
I’m really very happy with everything I’ve learned. Getting an MIT Professional Education Certificate is very relevant. After finishing this training I plan to do a project in the company where I work and lead a training session with my colleagues.
Edison Herrera Álvarez
– Dynamics CRM Senior Consultant –
My experience with the course was very positive, I recommend it. I have acquired valuable knowledge and skills to improve my effectiveness at work or to tutor and prepare others.
Silvana Cisneros López
– Big Data Project Manager –
I think it was like those booster shots of vaccines that we were given when we were little: Even if you have the knowledge, it helps to remind ourselves of the basics. We have to force ourselves to continue learning. It has helped me to remember that it is imperative to be constantly updated and with my eyes wide open so as not to miss any opportunity. And it has also reaffirmed my opinion that we should not always be satisfied with “standard” solutions, but that we must innovate.
