  El presente artículo es producto de una investigación, cuyo objetivo consistió en caracterizar la demanda actual y futura del talento humano en los cluster del Atlántico. Se aplicó el método exploratorio con la técnica de investigación mediante el instrumento de encuesta, a una muestra no probabilística por cuota a un total de 236 empresas. En este tipo de investigación que es cualitativo, se encontró como resultado que las empresas presentan grandes dificultades para hallar un capital humano idóneo, lo cual es un reto para las instituciones de formación a fin de fortalecer las competencias específicas y transversales antes que se gradúen los jóvenes, así como la creación de alianzas para establecer programas de capacitación dual que permitan formar a los estudiantes directamente en la empresa. De otra parte se concluyó que las empresas valoran mucho las competencias relacionadas con el trabajo en equipo, planificación del tiempo e identificación y resolución de problemas. Adicionalmente presentan dificultades en bilinguismo, manejo de las TICs, y en analizar y tomar decisiones asertivas bajo presión. Además, las empresas de los cluster estudiados no identifican el área de recursos humanos como estratégica que puede potenciar su crecimiento y competitividad.
