Corporate FP: The Ibex 35 Strategy

Vocational Training (FP) has become an essential pillar in the Spanish labor market, currently representing almost half of all job offers. As companies struggle to fill specialized technical roles, major corporations in the Ibex 35 index are actively strengthening their commitment to Vocational Training as a primary mechanism to attract and develop talent.

A Bridge to Real-World Needs

This trend is supported by significant growth in enrollment, reaching over 1.2 million students in 2025. This evolution confirms that Vocational Training acts as a vital bridge between the educational system and real-world business needs.

Leading companies are taking concrete steps to integrate students into their workforce. Repsol is a key example, hosting over 200 students annually in industrial environments to gain experience in fields like robotics and cybersecurity. Similarly, Acciona has launched a dual Vocational Training program in Administration and Finance, designed to develop talent directly aligned with its internal requirements.

The Indra Example

Indra also stands out due to its massive scale of cooperation, maintaining 346 agreements with vocational centers. Their success is remarkable: in 2025, 75% of their vocational interns were hired permanently, and they expect this figure to exceed 80% in 2026. Currently, one-third of Indra’s total staff in Spain comes from this educational background, proving how crucial these programs are for industrial competitiveness.

A Qualitative Transformation

As noted by the experts at Davante, there is a "very important qualitative change" taking place. Businesses are no longer just looking to hire; they are engaging in strategic partnerships by co-designing programs and participating in joint projects.

Ultimately, Vocational Training has transformed into a strategic "talent pipeline," providing companies with the rapid adaptability and technical expertise required to remain competitive in today’s evolving technological landscape.

Integrating talent directly into the workforce.

The Expert's View

Track 1: Co-designing the Future

Listen to Laura, an expert at Davante, explain the qualitative change in the Ibex 35. (Duration: ~1:10)

Hello, I'm Laura, an analyst at Davante. The qualitative change we see in the Ibex 35 companies is massive. Take Indra, for example. They have 346 agreements with vocational centers. They don't just take interns; they co-design the educational programs. This means they tell the schools exactly what skills they need tomorrow. In 2025, 75% of these interns got permanent contracts. Why? Because they arrive completely ready to work. They don't need extra months of training. Ultimately, Vocational Training has become a true talent pipeline for our evolving technological landscape, keeping companies adaptable and competitive.

Reading Analysis

Vocational Training in Spain

Vocational Training (FP) in Spain is changing. For a long time, it was seen as a secondary choice, but now it has become a primary and strategic option for students and professionals. This shift is not just a trend; it is a structural change in the labor market.

A New Demand in the Labor Market

Companies currently need specialized technical talent, and there has been a historical shortage of these profiles compared to other European countries. Educational centers are responding to this demand by connecting directly with the business world.

For example, iLERNA has built a strong network with over 6,000 companies that help design their study programs. This collaboration ensures that what students learn in the classroom matches the real needs of the workplace. Consequently, this practical approach leads to high success rates; in fact, more than 90% of iLERNA graduates find a job in less than six months.

Flexibility for Modern Professionals

Furthermore, the rise of online and hybrid models has made this education more flexible, allowing working professionals to update their skills without leaving their jobs. As B.C. reported in El País on May 25, 2026, the sector is growing fast to meet the needs of the productive system.

A Close Connection

Virginia Agelet, General Director and co-founder of iLERNA, explains the importance of this model: "Companies need highly qualified technical talent, and at iLERNA, we work to support this need by focusing on the quality of training."

In conclusion, Vocational Training is no longer "Plan B." It is now a reliable path to employment. By combining solid theoretical knowledge with practical experience and a close connection to companies, it effectively bridges the gap between education and the professional world, helping both students seeking stability and businesses looking for talent.

Connecting education to the professional world.

HR Perspective

Track 1: The Hiring Shift

Listen to Mark, an HR Director, explain why his company targets FP graduates. (Duration: ~1:15)

Welcome to today's career podcast. I'm chatting with Mark, an HR director at a top tech firm. Mark, why are you hiring so many Vocational Training graduates? Mark says: "Well, we used to focus only on university degrees. But the market changed. We have a severe shortage of hands-on technical skills. When we hire someone from an FP program, like from iLERNA, they don't need six months of training to understand our software. They already know it, because their curriculum was designed directly with companies like ours. Plus, the new hybrid models mean we can even send our current employees to do an FP degree online. This allows them to update their skills without losing them during work hours. Really, it is a win-win situation for everyone."

3. Detail

Why don't FP hires need 6 months of training?
