Dual training programs have proven to be of great help in the process of training highly qualified professionals. Countries that have successfully adopted the dual model have seen their professionals become the productivity engine of their economies. Very few countries in Latin America have adopted this training model, and although Ecuador has a regulation on dual training, RCP-SO-19-N°.282-2018, this model has not been adopted. In this article, a study is conducted in the framework of dual training, focusing on companies in information and communication technologies (ICTs) sector. The feasibility of applying dual training programs in Ecuador was analyzed through a qualitative approach. It was determined that in the field of ICTs, private companies need greater participation in the training of students, whether in dual training or internships. It was established that it is necessary to communicate and provide incentives from government agencies to companies and universities and that greater coordination between companies and universities is required to adopt dual training programs.
