History
This school was founded as the Centro Regional de Enseñanza Técnica Industrial (Regional Technical and Industrial Teaching Center, CeRETI) in 1966, as result of an agreement between the Secretaría de Educación Pública (Public Education Ministry, SEP) and the government of the state of Jalisco under the UNESCO's operations plan MEX/67/520, Informe de la UNESCO al Gobierno de México (1973) starting operations in September 1968. The title Tecnólogo was established in 1975 to differentiate the graduates from the technicians of other technical schools. In 1977 CETI was recognized as a subsidiary of the Centro Nacional de Enseñanza Técnica Industrial (National Technical and Industrial Teaching Center, CENETI) but in April 1983 this federal institution was dissolved by Presidential Decree, and changed CeRETI's denomination to the current name Centro de Enseñanza Técnica Industrial (CETI).
