If there is a region showing a period of growth in the manufacturing sector, it is Baja California. Thanks to the manufacturing conditions created for over 40 years, the state promises to become the new center of operations for thousands of foreign companies seeking to benefit from competitive manufacturing and a high-quality workforce.
Previously, we discussed why so many companies are moving their industrial plants to our country. But how do maquiladoras work in Baja California? Let’s take a look behind the scenes.
A Thriving Environment
According to the US Census Bureau, the median age in the United States is 38 years, while in Baja California it is 30 years old. This means our country has a younger workforce with many years ahead to learn and pursue a career.
In Baja California, there are 35 public and private universities offering engineering, technology, and business programs, preparing students for different industry-related job positions. In Tijuana, for example, 14,00 students graduate annually from engineering and technical programs.
In addition, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), Baja California’s 2022 export revenues brought in over 13,642 million dollars, becoming the fourth state to generate more income nationally. Results like these show us that this region has built up an environment that keeps thriving by taking advantage of all the opportunities given.
