Abstract: Abstract Medellin’s social solidarity enterprises are leveraging education to face the fourth industrial revolution from the fourth sector (economic profitability and a commitment to the environment and society), concerning improving society from relevance and compliance variables. At the same time, linked to the strategic line, one of the Ten-Year Social and Solidarity Economy Plan for Medellin 2016 to 2025, called education and training in solidarity culture, proposes new challenges by incorporating the fourth industrial revolution. The objective is to explain the conditions of relevance and compliance of teaching the social solidarity economy to promote the fourth industrial revolution in the fourth sector to obtain financial benefits to invest in social benefits. The methodology implemented was a nine-question questionnaire with a Likert scale (1–6) to 36 managers of the solidarity sector that promotes social education in the fourth sector in the city of Medellin. We found that 75% of the managers expressed considering that the cooperatives contribute with money or material to promote the study and 83.3% consider appropriating the contribution to learning the studies of the managers of the solidarity organizations were classified as carrying out activities dedicated to education, training, and cooperative information, while 93.4% stated that they supported education and cultural activities in the communities. In conclusion, cooperatives have relevance toward solidarity education from the fourth industrial revolution that helps to apply and improve the fourth sector, but its implementation fails because there is no conscience of it.
