On Friday, February 20 at 10 a.m., the Monitoring Committee of the Dual VET project at Barcelona City Council took place in the Barcelona Room of the Mobility, Infrastructure and Works Area Management (Av. Diagonal, 240. 08018 Barcelona).
This committee, which is convened annually, aims to review and monitor Dual VET scholarship students for the 2025–2026 academic year, as well as to present updates and the proposed planning for the 2026–2027 academic year.
The session brought together more than 50 representatives from VET centres, municipal departments (districts, management areas and municipal institutes), professionals from the Barcelona Education Consortium, the People, Organization and Electronic Administration Management of Barcelona City Council, as well as the Foundation that coordinates the City Council’s placement requests.
During the 2025–2026 academic year, Barcelona City Council hosted 298 Dual VET scholarship students from 22 VET centres (14 public and 8 publicly funded private schools) corresponding to 19 professional profiles, with an investment of €1.3 million.
This February marks the start of the 2026–2027 project, in which students will complete 865 hours of scholarship-based training in the various municipal departments.
From 2013 to the present, Barcelona City Council has incorporated 2,868 intensive Dual VET scholarship students. If we add the 50 students hosted over three years by BTV and the Barcelona Public Health Agency (companies partly owned by the City Council), the total rises to 2,918 trained scholarship students, with a global investment of €9.8 million.
