Today I want to share a particularly enriching experience following my recent lecture at the Antonio Machado High School in Alcalá de Henares.
I had the opportunity to speak to students in Intermediate and Advanced Vocational Training programs in the Electricity and Refrigeration fields, and once again I confirmed something I’ve been advocating for some time:
👉 These vocational training programs are experiencing an exceptional moment.
💼 The reality is clear:
📈 100% employability for graduates upon completion of their studies.
This statistic not only speaks to the present, but also to the enormous future that technical trades have in our country.
🏫 A Leading Center for Vocational Training
The Antonio Machado High School is not just any school. We are looking at one of the largest public Vocational Training centers in Spain, a true benchmark for:
✔️ Its size and training capacity
✔️ The quality of its facilities
✔️ And, above all, the exceptionally high level of commitment from its faculty
I want to highlight its dedication to serving the community by training well-prepared, committed, and highly qualified professionals.
🤝 The importance of partnerships: business + Vocational Training
During this event, I also had the pleasure of the support of Finder, a company that demonstrates its commitment to the sector through concrete actions:
🔧 Investing in the ongoing training of installation companies
🎓 Directly supporting Vocational Training students
🚀 Connecting the educational world with the business world
These kinds of collaborations are key to continuing to build a modern, connected Vocational Training system aligned with market needs.
🌍 Building the future through skilled trades
It’s becoming increasingly clear:
👉 Vocational training isn’t an alternative, it’s a choice for the future.
Technical trades are now synonymous with stability, professional development, and a direct contribution to the major challenges facing our society: sustainability, energy efficiency, and digitalization.
📢 I’ll tell you all about it on the blog
