The paper analyzes the training and challenges of human capital in Foreign Services, given the new challenges posed by globalization, new actors on the international scene, citizen diplomacy, technological and digital transformation, and cybersecurity. Diplomacy must adapt to the emergence of citizen diplomacy and new technologies in a global context. From a qualitative documentary review of academic and government sources from the last 15 years, it is observed that academic training institutes of Latin American foreign services share common criteria for the selection of human capital. It is recommended that foreign services training centers offer updated teaching, in line with the development of new technologies and digital transformation. The continuous professionalization of Foreign Services, through these training centers, would allow the countries of the region to develop and implement effective strategies to face the new sectors of the international and global environment.
