One of the Foundation’s strategic aims is to create and consolidate a network with the business world and the institutions involved in vocational and education training at different levels. Appropriately, the BCN Vocational and Education Training Foundation participates in several sectoral boards with the aim of facilitating discussion and sharing knowledge about the different economic sectors with the greatest potential in Barcelona Metropolitan Area.
BCN Vocational and Educational Training Foundation also participates in a number of working groups and boards dedicated to promoting the connection between VET offer and the productive sector of a specific locale. The Foundation contributes with its know-how, strategic reports and distribution of materials prepared ad hoc and with activities intended to publicize VET training and available professional opportunities in order to attract talent and stimulate students’ interest.
The working groups are made up of companies, social agents and entities representing different sectors, institutions and public administrations.
BCN Vocational and Education Training Foundation participates in the following boards:
Governing council of Barcelona Port employment and training board
Logistics Sector employment and training board
VET standing committee at l’Hospitalet de Llobregat
Industrial Training Sectoral board (TSFI)
Promoted by BCN Vocational and Education Training Foundation, the TSFI brings together representatives from VET centers, business, education, industry, technology centers, employers and unions. On May 19, 2016, it was constituted in the plenary session with all participating members at the ACCIÓ auditorium.
