The Regional Minister for Economy, Finance and Employment, Rocío Albert, today inaugurated this new facility, which joins the Regional Network of Innovation and Employment Training Centres (CMICE). Its programmes are primarily aimed at unemployed individuals and young people seeking their first job, although employed professionals who need to update their skills may also take part. The initiative also promotes internships in companies and provides active support in the job-search process.
These facilities will offer training in specialisations with high job placement rates, such as basic procedures in 3D printing and design; web-based application development; website design and publication; video game development and virtual reality; cybersecurity; and mobile device repair. Training actions to improve productivity through the use of artificial intelligence—now increasingly present in workplace environments—will also be included.
Albert has emphasised that Madrid will need tens of thousands of technology professionals in the coming years, and stated that the regional government “will continue to promote free, practical and flexible training programmes in digital specialisations that enable participants to improve their qualifications and access stable, well-paid jobs.”
Available employability data in related fields show placement rates that reach or even exceed 90% in some cases, with figures close to 95% in areas such as object-oriented programming and web application development. These results endorse the training model developed by the Madrid Region in coordination with the business sector and reinforce Alcobendas’ role as a hub for talent generation and employment opportunities in the technology sector.
