This research article aims to analyze the academic training of the professors that enjoy a sabbatical leave at the National Technological Institute of Mexico (TecNM). For this purpose, quantitative non-experimental research was conducted, with a transversal and descriptive design to the applications and final reports of n=3,179 persons who submitted their applications during the academic years 2012-2018. This sample represents 30.97% of the total of 10,264 full-time academic teaching personnel, belonging to 132 federal institutions of TecNM. The major results found in the sample of n=3,179 from the sabbatical leave are: 34.22% (1,088) are women and 65.78% (2,091) are men; 71.98% (2,288) reinforce the elaboration of notes, training manuals, or books; the terminal efficiency is 88.44% (2,357 persons in a state of release); 36.7% (1,167) of the persons are aged between 58 and 68; 85.91% (2,695) carry out its activities in its institution; an average of 4.85% (498) of the total 10,264 full-time academic teaching personnel enjoy this benefit annually. It is also proposed that, during the sabbatical leave at TecNM, the participation of the younger generations is promoted, that the teacher mobility abroad is encouraged, and that participation in all its academic programs is leveled. Finally, it is concluded that the TecNM invests an important resource in the academic training of its professorship through the 18 academic programs of the sabbatical leave, to maintain its quality academic teaching personnel.
