In Andalusia, Spain, a state-of-the-art vocational training centre is giving students hands-on skills for the aerospace sector—part of a broader EU effort to close skill gaps across industries.
In La Rinconada, near Seville, a new public aerospace training centre is preparing students for the factory floors of the future.
The CPIFP Javier Imbroda institute offers practical, hands-on learning—giving young people and mid-career workers the tools to join the global aviation industry. It’s the largest vocational education project in Andalusia, backed by €99.4 million from the European Social Fund Plus invested in the region.
As part of the EU’s Pact for Skills, the centre aligns education with labour market needs while expanding access across age groups. With a focus on mobility, women, and STEM careers, it embodies the Union of Skills initiative—training students for careers that may start in Spain but reach far beyond.
