I was joined by key voices in the sector:<br>\ud83d\udd39 <strong>Manuel El\u00edas<\/strong>, Secretary General of EPYME<br>\ud83d\udd39 <strong>Miguel Ram\u00edrez<\/strong>, Board Member<br>\ud83d\udd39 <strong>Alberto Serrano<\/strong>, Head of the Training Department<br>\ud83d\udd39 <strong>Antonio M. M\u00e9ndez<\/strong>, Director of Fundaci\u00f3n EPYME<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, we discussed the challenges and opportunities arising from Spain\u2019s <strong>new Vocational Education Law<\/strong>, the need to connect education and industry, youth employability, the role of dual training tutors, and how SMEs play a critical role in building a modern, flexible, and relevant VET system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My book is rooted in my personal and professional journey, which began in VET at the age of 14. It aims to inspire young people, families, training centers, and companies to believe in <strong>crafts, practical talent<\/strong>, and the <strong>transformative power of VET<\/strong> as a path to personal and professional success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcfd\ufe0f Watch the full video of the event here:<br>\ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/youtu.be\/UnpNswtD15Y<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
