It is a political will of the Cuban government to draw strategic lines in the sustainable food production program through alliances between local governments, universities and productive entities. That is why this article aimed to socialize a training program for producers that encourages the introduction of technologies in the agricultural sector. The dialectical-materialist method predominated as a general method. Theoretical level methods such as: the historical-logical, the induction deduction and the analysis and synthesis were used. From the empirical level, document review, surveys, performance observation, and expert consultation were used. The methodological triangulation technique was used and the percentage calculation was used for information processing. This result has been introduced since 2020 in farms of the Camilo Cienfuegos Genetic Livestock Company and the Punta de Palma Livestock Company, showing partial favorable results in the satisfaction levels of the producers and the efficiency of the companies. Didactic materials of the technological procedures for the producers were elaborated, the actions of preparation of the participatory workshops were determined from the collaborative learning and it was contributed to improve the professional competences of the producers for the efficient fulfillment of their work functions.
