The purpose of this study was to diagnose the digital competencies of Economics students and to design an educational intervention aimed at strengthening the identified critical areas. A validated questionnaire was applied to assess skills in virtual communication, digital security, tool management, technical problem-solving, and online collaboration, complemented by descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The initial results revealed significant deficiencies, confirming the gap between traditional academic training and the demands of the digital economy. Consequently, a formative intervention based on practical projects and collaborative challenges was implemented, resulting in a substantial improvement in the evaluated competencies. Furthermore, practical applications were observed, including the achievement of research awards, validating the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Overall, the study demonstrated that targeted educational interventions can significantly reduce the digital skills gap in higher education, thus contributing to the modernization of university curricula and enhancing students’ professional readiness in the context of accelerating digital transformation.
