Vocational Training continues to solidify its position as one of the fundamental pillars for the economic and social development of our country. My recent participation at CIPFP El Canastell, in Sant Vicent del Raspeig (Alicante), has once again demonstrated that when education and business work together, the impact is real, tangible, and transformative.
On this occasion, moreover, with a key player: the collaboration with FERMAX, a clear example of how the business sector can and should be actively involved in talent development.
A Meeting Place Between Training and Business
The day was much more than a conference. It was a point of connection between students, teachers, and business, where we were able to reflect on the role that Dual Vocational Training plays in a context marked by digitalization, technological innovation, and the need for increasingly specialized profiles.
Today, more than ever, the labor market demands professionals who not only have technical knowledge but also understand the real-world work environment. And that’s where Dual Vocational Training makes all the difference.
El Canastell has once again demonstrated that it’s not just an educational center, but a true engine of talent, thanks to a committed teaching staff aligned with the needs of the sector.
FERMAX: Technology, Innovation, and a Commitment to Talent
I want to highlight FERMAX’s role in this event. A leading company in communication and access control solutions, they fully understand that the future of the sector depends on investing in training.
Their involvement in initiatives like this reflects a clear vision: bringing the company closer to the classroom isn’t an option, it’s a responsibility.
FERMAX not only contributes technology and innovation, but also real-world industry knowledge, helping students understand from the inside how the professional environment they will soon be entering works.
People Who Make a Difference
None of this would be possible without the commitment of leading professionals in the field of education:
José Rubio Jiménez, a national leader in Vocational Training and in promoting Skills, whose work continues to be key to raising the level of excellence in the system. Carlos Llorca, director of the CIPFP El Canastell, leads a solid educational project, connected to reality and oriented towards the future.
Both represent the true value of Vocational Training: the people who believe in it and work every day to make it better.
Valencian Community: an ecosystem that works
Each visit to the Valencian Community reinforces a conviction: here, Vocational Training is not just talk, it’s a real strategy.
The collaboration between educational centers, companies like FERMAX, and professionals in the sector is generating an ecosystem where students can train with guarantees, develop their skills, and access real employment opportunities.
A model that should undoubtedly continue to inspire other regions.
Conclusion: training today to transform tomorrow
The future depends on continuing to strengthen the connection between education and business. If we want professionals prepared for the technological and social challenges ahead, we must commit to a modern, flexible Vocational Training system aligned with the market.
Events like the one at El Canastell make it clear: when all stakeholders work together, the result is a stronger, more useful, and more transformative Vocational Training system.
A very enriching experience in Alicante that reaffirms my commitment to continue promoting, raising awareness of, and defending the value of Vocational Training.
