The center will have training rooms, administrative offices, common areas, reception, and integration area coordinated with local companies.

In his speech, Eduardo López Ruíz, social activist, thanked the municipal government for promoting public policies that promote labor inclusion of persons with disabilities and promote equality and job opportunities.

The project is promoted by the Tijuana Economic Development Secretariat (Sedeti), through the Tijuana Fund Trust, in coordination with the Municipal DIF System (SDIF) and the National Chamber of the Housing Development and Promotion Industry (Canadevi).
