# Centro de Enseñanza Técnica Industrial

The Centro de Enseñanza Técnica Industrial (Technical and Industrial Teaching Center), or CETI, is a public, decentralized and federal educative institution in Guadalajara, in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, which promotes research and offers technological services in areas related to the development of the industrial sector in the West region of Mexico. As of 2025, it offers several degrees after high school, in the so called Tecnólogo level, and various degrees in engineering level (with specializations)

## Mission and Vision Statement

The formation of leading professionals in technology by offering integral education services and applying scientific and technical knowledge for promoting sustainable development, looking to be a vanguardist institution linked to organizations in the technological field, and forming national and international collaboration networks.

## History

This school was founded as the Centro Regional de Enseñanza Técnica Industrial (Regional Technical and Industrial Teaching Center, CeRETI) in 1966, as result of an agreement between the Secretaría de Educación Pública (Public Education Ministry, SEP) and the government of the state of Jalisco under the UNESCO's operations plan MEX/67/520, starting operations in September 1968. The title Tecnólogo was established in 1975 to differentiate the graduates from the technicians of other technical schools. In 1977 CETI was recognized as a subsidiary of the Centro Nacional de Enseñanza Técnica Industrial (National Technical and Industrial Teaching Center, CENETI) but in April 1983 this federal institution was dissolved by Presidential Decree, and changed CeRETI's denomination to the current name Centro de Enseñanza Técnica Industrial (CETI).
