CyVmusic Ltda., Powersoft’s
distributor in Chile, created an important educative project to train students
all over the country, through an alliance made with an educative corporation
from the North of Iquique, home of different educative institutions and where
CyVmusic has its headquarters.
The first training had the
participation of students from the Colegio William Taylor high school, where
they already have lessons on electronics. Together with the school’s directors
and professors, CyV has created a hands-on workshop, highlighting technologies
found in Powersoft’s amplifiers.
To do this, several visits to the
company’s technical service were organized, carrying out an introduction to the
latest technologies and showing face to face Powersoft amplifiers, their
boards, components and spare parts, detailing how they can be used, how to
detect errors and how to repare them.
The workshop is headed by
electronic engineer Abel Cruz who, besides being the engineer in charge of
CyV’s technical service, is an electronics professor in the educative
cooperation involved in this project.
Carlos Lantadilla, CEO at CyVmusic
Ltda., explains: “Actually, the project came up through Abel, who detected the
lack of practical vision on electronic components that many students had, since
most of their knowledge was just theoretical and based on the school’s
educative program, which does not include learning on new technologies. Keeping
this in mind, the idea of creating this hands-on workshop in our technical
service was born”.
The initiative brought benefits to
students indeed but also a great satisfaction for CyV’s staff. “It is very
heart-warming for us to be able to provide this future generation with some
knowledge, experiences and the motivation to get involved with the electronics
field”, Carlos added.
“We really thank CyV! Our students
were very happy with the chance the company gave them to access and learn on
these latest technologies. The feelings that this brought to their hearts, like
hope and incentive in this area, will be remembered forever”, highlighted
Richard Leal Orellana, UTP Professional Technician’s Head at the Colegio
Metodista William Taylor high school.
Having this successful first
edition as a base, Powersoft’s distributor has already establish the realization
of one workshop every Thursday, welcoming small groups of five or six students
to be able to provide a more personal course.
During this first stage, they will
continue training students from the Colegio William Taylor, but CyV is already
programming workshops together with the Colegio Inglés and the Colegio Robert
Johnson high schools, also based in Iquique.
