In today's challenging economic climate, people in countries all over the world are having a hard time finding rewarding and remunerative work. It is widely known that education is among the best ways to solve this problem–people with more advanced degrees almost universally earn more and work at jobs that they find more interesting and challenging. However, getting a college degree is not an option for everyone. Tuition and fees are steadily rising, and many prospective students simply do not have enough time to go back to school and complete a degree. For these people, career colleges and vocational schools are an excellent option. Vocational schools and career colleges offer courses in a broad range of subjects.
Spain is no exception to this global trend. More and more students are turning to vocational training rather than college, since it enables them to advance their careers without the overwhelming commitment of time and resources. In Spain, 2 types of vocational training are available: Middle Grade and Superior-level. Students who have completed their compulsory secondary education and obtained an ESO diploma are eligible to apply for vocational training at the Middle Grade level. At this level, students can find courses in a wide variety of subjects, from photography and creative writing to plumbing and automotive repair.
Advanced-level training at Spanish vocational schools and career colleges is available for students who have gone a bit further in their high school education. Students who have attained a Spanish Baccalaureate (which requires 2 additional years of secondary school beyond the ESO) can get more challenging vocational training through Advanced-level programs. Unlike Middle Grade courses, Advanced-level training is sometimes used as a stepping stone into college. Some 4 year degree programs accept credits from Advanced-level coursework, so students who excel in their vocational training can sometimes go on to complete more advanced degrees at colleges and universities. Others, of course, take their degrees and seek employment immediately after graduation.
Regardless of the level, vocational training is a wise career move for countless young people in Spain. In addition, people at more advanced stages in their careers often return for training or retraining in order to adapt to a changing economy. Workers who have been laid off, or who feel that they need to switch careers, can get retrained at any of Spain's numerous career colleges and vocational schools targeted at mid-career learners. This emphasis on re-training has given countless Spanish workers a second chance at a fulfilling career, and has introduced a valuable flexibility into Spain’s workforce.
Thanks to increasing standardization of vocational education throughout Europe, credentials gained at career colleges in Spain can be applied to a much wider job market. Employment in nearly all sectors of the economy is becoming more and more globalized every year, so having a degree or certificate that is recognized in numerous countries is a considerable advantage.
