2. Deep Reading: Why Vocational Training?

The Spanish labor market is undergoing a significant shift. Recent data suggests that Advanced Vocational Training (FP de Grado Superior) is currently more in-demand than many university degrees.

Firstly, Digitalization and Cybersecurity have become the backbone of the economy. Experts in "Web Application Development" and "Network Systems" are constantly sought-after. With the rise of AI, these roles offer entry-level salaries starting at €24,000, quickly reaching €40,000 as experience grows.

Secondly, the Healthcare sector remains a titan. Degrees in "Dietetics" and "Laboratory Technician" have near-zero unemployment rates. This is due to an aging population and a growing concern for wellness. These professionals are being hired by both public hospitals and private clinics across the country.

Finally, Renewable Energies and Industrial Maintenance are vital for the green transition. Spain is becoming a European hub for wind and solar energy.
