Abstract
Este artículo analiza el papel de las relaciones públicas en el fortalecimiento del posicionamiento institucional de Cesde, una entidad de educación técnica que pertenece al ecosistema Comfama y cuenta con más de cinco décadas de experiencia en la formación para el trabajo. El estudio parte de la necesidad de comprender cómo la gestión del relacionamiento con diferentes públicos empresas, medios de comunicación, comunidad educativa y aliados estratégicos influye en la reputación y el posicionamiento de la institución en un contexto educativo cada vez más competitivo. El objetivo principal fue proponer lineamientos estratégicos de relaciones públicas que consoliden a Cesde como una marca educativa sólida y cercana, alineada con su propósito de transformar la vida de las personas a través de la educación técnica. Para ello, se utilizó un enfoque de investigación cualitativo, sustentado en la revisión documental y en entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas a líderes institucionales de diferentes áreas. Los hallazgos muestran que las relaciones públicas no son percibidas como un área aislada, sino como un proceso transversal que conecta los modelos educativo, comunicacional y empresarial de Cesde. Asimismo, se identificaron desafíos en la coherencia de las acciones de relacionamiento, la ausencia de un plan estructurado de medios y la necesidad de fortalecer la sinergia con Comfama. Como resultado, se propone una estrategia integrada de relaciones públicas enfocada en dos frentes clave: las empresas y los medios de comunicación. Dicha estrategia busca reactivar la fidelización con aliados estratégicos, consolidar vocerías institucionales y proyectar la identidad educativa de Cesde como referente nacional en educación técnica.
This article analyzes the role of public relations in strengthening the institutional positioning of Cesde, a technical education entity that belongs to the Comfama ecosystem and has more than five decades of experience in vocational training. The study starts from the need to understand how relationship management with different audiences companies, media, the educational community, and strategic allies influences the institution’s reputation and positioning in an increasingly competitive educational context. The main objective was to analyze the current state of public relations at Cesde in order to propose strategic guidelines that would consolidate the institution as a solid and close educational brand, aligned with its purpose of transforming people’s lives through technical education. For this purpose, a qualitative research approach was used, supported by documentary review and semi - structured interviews conducted with institutional leaders from different areas. The findings show that public relations are not perceived as an isolated area but as a transversal process that connects Cesde’s educational, communicational, and business models. Likewise, challenges were identified in the consistency of relationship actions, the absence of a structured media plan, and the need to strengthen synergy with Comfama. As a result, an integrated public relations strategy is proposed, focused on two key fronts: companies and the media. This strategy seeks to reactivate loyalty with strategic allies, consolidate institutional spokespersons, and project Cesde’s educational identity as a national benchmark in technical education.
