On April 3rd, the Los Cristianos Cultural Center hosted an informative conference on vocational training (FP) programs offered at institutes in the southern region of Tenerife. The event, organized by the Arona City Council and the Government of the Canary Islands, brought together over 1,600 students interested in learning about the educational and employment opportunities provided by vocational training.
Representing the ongoing initiatives for the development of Playa Paraíso, Miguel Muñoz, project coordinator, attended the event with the aim of recruiting FP students interested in participating in the internship program. Additionally, he provided a summary dossier to students and directors of FP centers in the region, emphasizing the importance of these training experiences in supporting drafting architects and other professionals.
The event also provided insight into the dual training model, similar to the German system, in which students combine theoretical education at school with paid internships at partner companies. During the conference, it was highlighted that in Germany, many companies offer compensation to students in dual training, with approximate figures of €800 in the first year, €1,000 in the second, and €1,200 in the third, ensuring continuous education and future employment within the same company.
The conference was a success, with the active participation of regional institutes and discussions on improving the dual training system, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Government of the Canary Islands. Additionally, the possibility of allowing students from other autonomous communities to complete their internships in the Canary Islands, and vice versa, was discussed, promoting mobility and knowledge exchange between regions.
