“Michael Porter, a global leader in competitiveness,
says that if an alien would come to Central
America and El Salvador, it would think this is the
richest place on earth because of its geographic
placement, between the two Americas, Europe and
Asia, connected through the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans. El Salvador needs to compete and has a
friendly investment atmosphere with transparency,
clear playing rules and respect to private property.”

Activity: Specialized school in social communication
Date of creation: 1995
Since its creation 15 years ago, the School
of Communications has fulfilled a vacancy in
the education of professionals dedicated to
communications. Large Salvadoran media groups
such as Altamirano, Dutriz and Eserski, to mention
a few, have been at the core of the creation of this
specialized school.
Nowadays, Mónica Herrera is famous on a regional
level, allowing it to have agreements with European
universities such as Erasmus Hogeschool Brussels,
UCES, Ecole Intuit, and alliances such as the one
with the Federación Lationamericana de Facultades
de Comunicación Social (Felafacs) - (Latin American
Federation of Social Communication Schools), the
International Advertising Association (IAA), or the
International Council of Graphic Design Association
(Icograda IDA). Its 350 graduating students guarantee
a very low ratio of teacher / pupil and entry to the most
prestigious companies in the country.
Among the careers fields in which they offer a
degree are: Advertising Technician, Integrated
Communications in Marketing and Strategic Design.
The PENSA Executive Class Continuing Education
Unit which offers degrees in Finance in Marketing,
Visual Communication and Web Design, Traders, etc.
Innovative methodology has been the key to better
prepare professionals in social communication.
Classes are designed to generate cognitive learning
through the students´ own experiences and emotions.
The learning strategy consists of dynamic workshops,
experiential processes with real and simulated
customers and professionals who ensure the
application of the concepts of the chosen profession.
“The communications of today and the future
require professionals working in diversity. These
are key skills to becoming better communication
professionals making them more effective in
their jobs and businesses. At our School, with
our distinctive approach we have not only taught
them to learn to know, and learn to do, but we
have encouraged them to learn to live together to
develop understanding and respect for others.”
