Duoc UC and Drivin: Transforming Education Through Technology

The partnership between Duoc UC and Drivin has emerged as a benchmark in integrating technology into education, driving the development of future logistics professionals through cutting-edge tools.

With over five years of collaboration, this synergy has made a meaningful impact on students, faculty, and the broader logistics sector in Chile.

From the classroom to the industry

Drivin plays a pivotal role in the academic programs of International Trade and Logistics Management at Duoc UC. The platform not only allows students to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical context, but also helps them adapt to the digital demands of today’s job market.

Eduardo Espinoza, Associate Director at the School of Business and Administration, shares:

“Partnering with Drivin has been an incredibly enriching experience. Our students aren’t just learning—they’re applying what they learn in real-world scenarios, which significantly enhances their job readiness and competitiveness.”

Empowering students for the real world

Students like Valeria Hurtado, a third-year student of Logistics Management Engineering, recognize the value of working with a real-world logistics platform like Drivin:

“It gives us a major advantage when entering the workforce, because we’re already familiar with advanced systems that not everyone has the chance to use. This better prepares us for the challenges of transportation and route planning.”

By engaging directly with the technology used in modern logistics operations, students strengthen their professional profiles and gain a strategic understanding of key processes—from distribution center configuration to load and route optimization.

Educators embracing technology

Francisco Muñoz, instructor of Transportation and Distribution Management, has witnessed firsthand how Drivin enhances students’ interaction with technology:

“The platform is user-friendly and helps students overcome their fear of complex systems. That’s essential, because today’s logistics professionals must be proficient in TMS, WMS, ERP, and similar tools”

He also underscores the importance of aligning education with industry demands:

“Staying connected to the latest technologies is what prepares students for a labor market that simply cannot operate without advanced digital tools. Not keeping up means being left behind.”

Bridging education and employability

One of the key benefits of this alliance is its strong connection to the logistics industry. By aligning Drivin’s capabilities with the academic programs at Duoc UC, students are better equipped to meet the expectations of employers and adapt to evolving industry standards.

Graduates who have trained with Drivin stand out in a highly competitive job market, where operational efficiency increasingly relies on the effective use of technology.

A forward-thinking model

The collaboration between Duoc UC and Drivin continues to serve as a model for how technology can enhance education. As the partnership evolves, future plans include expanding Drivin’s use into more courses and continually adapting the curriculum to meet the needs of a fast-changing logistics landscape.

“In this industry, those who don’t adopt technology simply won’t stay competitive. Thanks to Drivin, our students are entering the workforce with confidence and the right skill set,” concludes Eduardo.
