The delegate of the Junta de Andalucía Government in Granada, Antonio Granados, highlighted that Vocational Training has become a key pathway to employment for young people, with an offer tailored to labor market needs that helps "retain young talent in our province." He emphasized the importance of new training programs in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data, as well as the expansion in traditional sectors.
Granados also pointed out the unprecedented growth of FP in Andalusia, with nearly 200,000 new places across the autonomous community and an increase of over 64% since 2018, demonstrating the Andalusian government's commitment. The online modality was also highlighted, offering over 69,800 online FP places, providing flexibility and accessibility.
The territorial delegate, María José Martín, stressed that FP in Granada is not only growing in the number of places but also in quality, specialization, and employment opportunities, becoming "more innovative, more flexible, and more connected to the future."
