The Spanish labor market will need to cover almost 10 million jobs that will emerge between now and 2030 and vocational training is emerging as key to training and training the majority of the people who will occupy these jobs. This is the conclusion of the analysis carried out by CaixaBank Dualiza and Orkestra-Basque Institute of Competitiveness in the Annual Report of the FP Observatory.

Most of these employment opportunities, 90%, will be replacement; while just over 10% will correspond to new employment. Furthermore, of all these new possibilities of finding work, 80% will arise in the service sector.

These conclusions are part of the annual study carried out by Phone Number List both institutions through the data collected in the Vocational Training Observatory through which a concrete and detailed photograph of the evolution of vocational training in the country during the last year is made and analyzed. the trends that the FP itself and the labor market will follow.

The president of CaixaBank , José Ignacio Goirigolzarri, intervened in the presentation of the event to refer to these data and warn of the need to act “quickly and decisively” to avoid the “decoupling between supply and demand in the labor market” that is currently registered. If not, he added, “the problem can become unmanageable . ”

FP, key
In fact, he recalled that “we must face retirement levels for which we do not have enough replacement and we need even more training for people who are already working; but they will have to assume new functions. And we know that FP will be key to the training of most of them.”

In this regard, he added that the report “evidences a dimension of our training that we must not forget. And, when we think about training, we must not only think about our young people, but also about the incorporation of skills throughout the professional lives of our citizens . "

That is one of the medium-term alerts coming from the report, the aging of the population (those over 64 years of age will represent 26.5% of the total in 2035) and the lack of new potential students, since the population of 15- 19 years will begin to decrease from 2025.

New skills for active workers
To compensate for the number of people leaving the labor market, more students would be needed. But also train many of the active workers who would have to take on new tasks with new skills. However, the report highlights that the participation of employees in Vocational Training for Employment (FPE) fell by almost 17% last year.




Likewise, spending on training fell drastically, almost 30%. Furthermore, the FPE coverage rate for unemployed people remained around 5%, far from the 20% target set by the European Commission for 2025.

VET, therefore, is emerging as a fundamental piece to be able to continue with the training of new workers and the adaptation of the skills of many others in a new context where the importance of the qualified worker will continue to increase.

For now, its weight in our labor market continues to grow. The percentage of the employed population with vocational training studies now reaches 23.5%.

A good part of this has to do with the advantage of having a vocational training degree in getting a job. In the case of VET technicians, they have a chance of finding a job more than 14 percentage points higher than another person with a lower level of training.

The rise of job offers for FP
In fact, job offers for FP came to represent 41.3% of the total in 2020 despite the pandemic, and while the unemployment rate increased by 1.5 percentage points in the general population, only It did 1.3 in the FP as a whole.

The research carried out by CaixaBank Dualiza and Orkestra has also analyzed the great social challenges. The reduction of early school leaving among young people, which is among the highest in the European Union, remains urgent. Likewise, youth unemployment has skyrocketed and the number of young people who neither study nor work has increased.

Furthermore, the report ensures that the current system continues to fail to offer answers to other needs, such as the increase in women in industrial studies and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), where they barely represent 12% of enrollments despite the high degree. of employability of these cycles.
