My Intervention: Current Status of Vocational Training

During my intervention, I had the opportunity to take the floor and share with the attendees the current status of Vocational Training (FP) in our sectors. I highlighted the growing importance of FP as an essential way to train highly qualified professionals, capable of facing the technological and environmental challenges of the future. I also addressed current and future initiatives that seek to promote gender equality and promote the inclusion of more women in these technical areas.

A Moderated and Conducted Event by Mariana Barrado Eguiguren

The event was masterfully conducted and moderated by Mariana Barrado Eguiguren, who knew how to maintain the interest and cohesion of the program, allowing each intervention to be enriching and motivating. Mariana managed to create an environment in which all participants could share their experiences and visions on the role of women in the industry.

Conclusion

The presentation of the 1st Women’s Excellence Awards was not only a recognition of the work of many professionals, but also an inspiration to continue working for a more inclusive and diverse sector. I feel privileged to have been part of this event and to have contributed with my vision on Vocational Training. I am sure that initiatives like this will continue to promote female talent and promote positive change in our industries.
