respectfully with others, and act responsibly toward sustainability and collective well-being.

According to the applied research developed on "Labor, professional and research skills for logistics engineers" at TecNM Tijuana, defined by the principle of the correlation between competitiveness and education, it is essential to point out that a prepared society will have better and greater opportunities for growth, development, and progress. Which makes it necessary to reflect from the academy, specifically from the technological higher education sector on the determinants that impact the innovation of human talent. By developing self-management capacities, the maximum participation of cooperative members is achieved so that the best decisions are strategically made for the benefit of the entire cooperative organization and the relationship with other entities that can contribute to the growth and sustained prosperity of the cooperative under the interaction with society. The development of cooperative companies is linked to the principles of alliances and strategies of sectoral interoperation and solidarity growth. This contribution is a benchmark for exploring the challenges of cooperatives from a systemic approach and that provides a benchmark for sectoral public policy initiatives of the social solidarity economy.

As a result of documentary research and the strategic application of the Fifth Systemic Helix methodology for the social and solidarity economy sector, a consensus has been reached on the development of a bank of key questions for the approximation of the identification and consideration of all comprehensive approaches to develop a dictionary of sectoral competences, which integrates the dictionary of labor, professional, and research competences, to strengthen the sectoral development of the social and solidarity economy, thereby encourage development and social impact, implicitly considering the 17 objectives for the sustainable development of the 2030 goals of the United Nations Organization.

The scientific research project "Prospective Dictionaries of Labor, Professional and Research Competences for the Sectoral Development of the Social and Solidarity Economy in Mexico" represents the applied research efforts developed during the period 2019–2023. Within the framework of the creation and registration of the first NODESS (social and solidarity economy node) on the northern border of Mexico [22], the City of Tijuana has become a benchmark for innovation and vanguard models in sectoral articulation processes, from the academy with the government sectors, clusters, business chambers, and specialized consultants.

The National of Mexico, Tijuana Campus has promoted the development of an observatory of the evolution of the Sustainable Development Goals of 2030, under the registry of scientific research projects registered at the national level with the purpose of generating knowledge through scientific articles and linkage practices between national and international research centers, generating comparative studies of good practices between universities and researchers and representatives of different sectors of society. The collaboration of the Tijuana City Council through the Municipal Institute for Citizen Participation has generated a statistical analysis of the existence of more than 57 thousand SMEs with challenges of implementing sustainability projects, and the determination of critical factors in the social and solidarity economy. The city of Tijuana, due to its geographical location in the Baja California Peninsula, represents the opportunity for comprehensive systemic development for all sectors of society.

The preliminary results in Phase 1 and Phase 2 show key variables to include in an electronic survey, which will be circulated among TecNM Tijuana students and graduates, businessmen, and graduates in their professional practice, with the data

collected will support the development of a database through a web page, and the development of dictionaries of sectoral competences, to strengthen the employability and follow-up at the local, national, and international level of graduates and students. The conclusions of this research suggested that the information in the database should include factors that affect student dropout rates, such as business affiliation and sense of belonging, as well as those that affect comprehensive competencies for employability, professional development, continuing education, and professional updating through postgraduate studies and research.
