On 07 September, Spain’s Council of Ministers approved the final text of the legislative project to reorganize and integrate vocational training, which was prepared in collaboration with the social partners. The text, which is now starting its parliamentary journey, should be approved in the coming months. It provides for the unification of initial and ongoing training and emphasizes the importance of dual training with at least 25% of time spent in companies, the overall goal of which is to develop an apprenticeship system that is better connected to the labour market.
Finally, after nearly two years of consultations with the central and regional administrations as well as with employer and trade union organizations, the long awaited vocational training reform project has arrived in parliament. “The new vocational training is going to be one of the levers to help drive the transformation of the productive system that the country needs,” said the Minister of Education and Training, Pilar Alegria, adding, “we need to give a whole generation of young people the opportunity of quality employment.”
