The members of the Board of Directors of the Asociación de Centros de Formación Profesional FPEmpresa met on July 14 and 15 in Zaragoza for a series of sessions aimed at evaluating the Association’s past activities and defining future strategies and actions. The CPIFP Movera and the Campus Digital Vocational Training Centre hosted these meetings, which brought together the Permanent Board of FPEmpresa, as well as regional representatives from each Autonomous Community, and the technical team.
Some of the topics discussed included the Association’s collaborations, meetings, and agreements with various entities, as well as the pace of growth in membership. The relevance and presence of FPEmpresa in international forums, and its participation in innovation projects and events in collaboration with companies, were also evaluated. New action plans and internationalization options were also considered. In addition, planning began for the upcoming 12th Vocational Training Congress, which will be held in Santander.
Presentation by Mónica Mosso and Evaluation of the Strategic Plan
Mónica Mosso, head of research at CaixaBank Dualiza, participated in one of the sessions to present her study on Integrated Vocational Training Centres (CIFP) in Spain, addressing aspects such as the driving factors behind their evolution, their characteristics, and key elements of their management. The FPEmpresa Board of Directors also reviewed the Association’s strategic lines and its overall strategic plan, assessing the fulfillment of annual objectives related to economic growth, events and initiatives organized among its members, communication goals, and more.
Ultimately, these meetings served to agree on various outreach strategies aimed at expanding the Association’s reach and consolidating its presence and influence within member centres. Luis García, president of FPEmpresa, shared with the Board that “as the Association grows, it becomes increasingly necessary to find new ways to reach educational centres.” “We have developed tools and activities with great potential that help improve the sector and promote good practices in Vocational Education and Training,” he emphasized.
