I recently discovered a project that truly inspired me: the Institut Tecnològic Barcelona (ITB). Created in 2019 by the Barcelona Education Consortium, this new center is committed to delivering high-quality technological training with a bold, forward-thinking vision.
Led by Alberto Vila, a passionate and visionary director, ITB is growing into much more than a school: it’s becoming a hub of excellence in professional and technical education.
Real innovation, national recognition
One clear example is the “Nuvulet” project—the first data center ever located inside a vocational training institute in Spain. A unique case of learning through cutting-edge infrastructure.
This effort has earned ITB several awards, recognitions and investments, positioning it as part of:
- Spain’s National Network of Excellence Centers
- Catalonia’s Integrated Vocational Training Centers Network
A living ecosystem: Erasmus+, companies and young talent
ITB is much more than a school: it’s an educational ecosystem where Erasmus+ mobility, partnerships with tech companies, and innovation-based learning are the norm. Its team cultivates a space for creativity, purpose and future-driven education.
This is what 21st-century vocational education should look like
My visit to ITB left me certain that when we invest in modern, relevant, and value-driven vocational training, we’re building brighter futures. ITB is already leading the way — and the best is yet to come.
