During her stay, the minister gained first-hand insight into the initiatives that have positioned the center as a national benchmark in Vocational Training. Projects in innovation, industrial digitalization, and advanced training that directly connect with the business sector were highlighted.
The ministerial delegation, which included various educational authorities and institutional representatives, toured the facilities. They visited specialized areas such as the Mechanical Manufacturing workshop, the plastic transformation and recycling learning factory, and the Collaborative Robotics and Automated Manufacturing classroom.
A key point of the visit was the presentation of a project for the development of breast prostheses using advanced manufacturing. This initiative combines anatomical personalization, a thermal sensor system, and sustainability to improve the quality of life for mastectomized women. The project, still in the study phase, aims to become a real solution in the healthcare field.
“"The initiative, still in the study phase, aims to become a real solution within the healthcare sector."
As an institutional gift, the minister received a chess set designed and manufactured at IES Fernando III itself, as part of a circular economy project. This piece is produced by thermoplastic injection in unique facilities in Andalucía, using recycled material from industrial defective parts.
“"This chess set symbolizes the educational and technological philosophy of IES Fernando III: transforming innovation and sustainability into real projects with educational and industrial impact. Our students work with advanced technologies applied to useful and sustainable solutions, closely connected to the current needs of companies."
