40% of vocational training students aspire to start their own business and more than a quarter will continue studying at the university

Vocational Training ( FP) is increasingly shedding the discredited image that had been attributed to it for years. With the impetus of the new law and the growing offer by the labor market of technical profiles or with an average qualification, this educational path is already chosen by more and more Spanish students. Many, 40%, opt for it because they want to start a business, while more than half aspire to continue their education and 27% intend to do so later at university. 

According to a study presented this Thursday by the CCC Official Vocational Training Center , Vocational Training is the training alternative chosen by those students who are either already in the labor market, or are looking for more labor flexibility or training that is much more based on practice and that brings them closer to companies (more than 75% affirm that FP is the best training to access the company). Specifically, eight out of ten already have previous professional experience, for 44% it is not the first time they have completed a cycle, and 63% combine it with their work. 

High employability —the FP rate is 42%, almost four points more than that of university jobs— is, for four out of ten students, the main reason why they opted to enroll in a Middle Grade cycle at the time or Higher Grade. 22% of the 700 respondents do so to strengthen their practical training and 10% for the shorter duration of the studies, which allows them to acquire certain skills and a degree in a much shorter period.
