MinTIC and Universidad de Pamplona's CiberPaz Formaciones 2025 offers free, certified AI and digital-citizenship training across Colombia's 32 departments — ten courses (5-48h) for 35,000 people aged 13+, with tracks on AI for employment and women's entrepreneurship.
Colombia's Ministry of Information and Communications Technology (MinTIC), through its CiberPaz digital-citizenship programme, partnered with the Universidad de Pamplona to launch CiberPaz Formaciones 2025, a free national training drive on the safe, responsible and ethical use of the internet and artificial intelligence.
The programme was launched on 22 August 2025 at the university's Villa del Rosario campus in Norte de Santander and offers ten free, certified courses across two tiers: four basic-digital-skills courses (around 5 hours each, delivered via a WhatsApp-based chatbot) and six advanced AI courses (around 48 hours each, delivered virtually), covering AI for employment, education, women's empowerment, entrepreneurship and digital design.
MinTIC and the university state the programme targets close to 35,000 people aged 13 and over across all 32 of Colombia's departments, with Vice Minister Carina Murcia framing the goal as ensuring "digital transformation reaches all territories." Independent Colombian outlets, including Radio Nacional de Colombia and Las2orillas, corroborated the enrolment target and course structure at launch.
The published figures are enrolment targets and course-completion certification rather than an independently measured gain in AI knowledge or skills, and 2025 is the programme's first announced cycle, so no multi-year completion or impact data yet exists.
