The Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao, organized by the employers’ association, hosted today the 31st edition of Company&FP which aims to praise cooperation between companies and vocational training centers. Nearly 400 young people who have recently graduated from vocational education and training attended the event and received their corresponding diplomas. Also present were the Minister of Education of the Basque Government, Begoña Pedrosa, and representatives of companies and educational centers that collaborate in dual training programs.
In his speech, Yagüe thanked “the involvement of companies, institutions and the education system as a whole” for “consolidating a model that is already a reference both in the state and in the European Union itself.” “We are an example of a common project, cooperation and trust,” he said.
According to data from the employers’ organization, since 2012 – the year the current dual model was launched – almost 40,000 young people at more than 22,000 companies. In this sense, he emphasized that “the dual vocational training model in Euskadi is designed and adapted for every type of company, regardless of size and sector.”
Yagüe has also stated that “in Euskadi, and contrary to what happened until recently in the rest of the state, for decades the dual vocational training has always been reimbursed by the company, an example of the involvement of the Basque company in the training and employability of its young people”. The head of Confebask addressed the young people present in Euskalduna and asked them to be “proactive”. “I can assure you that there are certain students who go through companies that will not let them escape. They are those who are proactive, who show interest in the activities that are beyond the scope of their duties. Test yourself. Be willing to adopt an entrepreneurial attitude and allow yourself to continue to grow.
Likewise, he assured Minister Pedrosa that in Confebask he has “a strategic ally” to “continue to improve the education of our young people.”
