A few days ago, I had the opportunity to return to the XABEC Training Center in Valencia to spend a day with Vocational Training students, this time in collaboration with BAXI.
This visit, which went beyond a lecture, became a real-world exchange between education and industry.
Because if anything defines Vocational Training today, it’s precisely this: its ability to connect learning with the realities of the sector.
A Classroom Connected to the Present
During the session, we addressed some of the major challenges and opportunities shaping the building services sector:
Technological advancements in air conditioning and energy efficiency
The need for qualified and specialized professionals
The key role of attitude and personal commitment
And the strategic value of Dual Vocational Training
However, the most enriching aspect wasn’t the content, but the students’ attitude.
An attitude based on curiosity, a desire to learn, and the awareness that they are building their professional future starting today.
Dual Vocational Training as a Driver of Real Learning
Many of these students are currently immersed in their Dual Vocational Training period, combining their education at the school with direct experience in companies within the sector.
A model that allows them to:
✔️ Apply knowledge in real-world environments
✔️ Develop technical and personal skills
✔️ Understand how companies operate from the inside
✔️ And, above all, mature professionally in a real-world context
Dual Vocational Training doesn’t just train professionals. It trains individuals prepared to integrate into a demanding, ever-changing, and opportunity-filled work environment.
The Essential Role of Companies
In this context, the involvement of companies like BAXI is fundamental.
Their participation not only provides technical knowledge and market insight. It contributes something much more important: a connection to the professional world.
When business enters the classroom, learning takes on a whole new meaning.
It becomes tangible.
Something useful.
Something with direct application.
And that, for a student, makes all the difference.
Looking to the future with confidence
I left the XABEC Training Center with a very clear feeling: the sector has a new generation of professionals who are well-prepared, motivated, and have a vision much more aligned with reality than we sometimes think.
Vocational training is evolving.
Companies are increasingly involved.
And young people are responding.
When these three elements align, the result is clear.
👉 We are building the future of the sector from the present.
Thanks to the XABEC team for their commitment to quality training, to BAXI for their dedication to young talent, and especially to the students for demonstrating that the future of technical trades is in very good hands.
