📋 Tender Overview
Work is done through the Cajamarca Wood Technical Unit, from January to August alone it has provided more than 600 specialized services.The Technological Institute of Production (ITP), an organization attached to the Ministry of Production (PRODUCE), through its Wood Technical Unit Cajamarca, reaffirms its commitment to regional development, promoting the training of the next generation of professionals in the forestry sector.
As part of its articulation activities with the academy, the Technical Unit offers guided tours of its facilities, designed to provide students with an immersive experience that complements their learning in the classrooms.
As a result of this collaboration, so far this year, more than 100 students from various universities have visited the facilities to reinforce their theoretical knowledge. The most recent visit was carried out by students of the Forestry Engineering program at the National University of Cajamarca (UNC), who are studying the subject of Wood Drying and Preservation.
During the day, the future engineers carried out intensive practice on the Determination of the Moisture Content of Wood, a fundamental factor for the quality of the final product. This experience allowed them to operate cutting-edge technological equipment, such as pin and contact hygrometers, a wood drying oven and precision scales, fundamental tools in the industry.
These guided tours, a fundamental part of the Technical Units articulation activities, cover a wide spectrum of topics. In addition to determining moisture content, throughout the year students have addressed highly relevant subjects such as the use of drones for forest monitoring and the study of the physical and mechanical properties of wood, consolidating comprehensive training adapted to the
new technologies in the sector.
This synergy seeks to close the gap between theory and practice, ensuring that Cajamarcas future professionals have the necessary capabilities and skills to promote innovation and competitiveness in one of the most important production chains in the region.
From January to August 2025 alone, the UT has provided more than 620 specialized services, reaching more than 270 clients. These activities include specialized technological information services, training, laboratory tests, technical assistance, among others.
