Spain - Salesians sign three new partnership agreements with companies, for the benefit of young people

(ANS - Madrid) - Salesians in Spain have signed three collaboration agreements with the companies "FeuVert", "Analysis and Simulation" (AyS Group) and "Herco" for their Centers for Vocational Training (CFP). By virtue of these agreements, these companies will offer technologies and advice to Salesian CFPs, in order to improve teacher training and the professional skills of students.

The company "FeuVert" shall offer training courses for teachers issuing the course diploma or title in Vehicle Maintenance Management, certified by the University of Salamanca. Furthermore, it will collaborate with the Salesian school on social integration projects for young people at risk of social exclusion.

"Análisis y Simulación" (AyS Group), for its part, shall provide training courses for teachers, as well as technical advice and software licenses in the most advanced technologies and, in particular, in the applications of the 4.0 industry.

Lastly, the "Herco" company will provide Salesian vocational training centers with a wide range of mechanical instruments, tools and technical equipment for their classrooms and laboratories, chosen from among their catalogs, together with the necessary technical support and commercial advice.


The agreements were signed on Tuesday, November 6, in Madrid, by Fr Ángel Asurmendi, Superior of the Spain-Mary Help of Christians Province (SMX); Fr Juan Carlos Pérez Godoy, Superior of the Spain-St James Major Province; and by the representatives of the three collaborating companies. Also present for the occasion were the members of the SSM and SMX Provincial Councils.

These most recent agreements signed in Madrid are just the latest additions to other agreements of collaboration the Salesians have signed in recent years with companies such as "Schneider", "Hoffmann", "Siemens" and "Festo". The spiritual Sons of Don Bosco count 50 Centers of Professional Formation, or Vocational Training, in Spain, and are attended by a total of 17,000 pupils, educated and accompanied by 1,300 teachers.

The Salesian Social Platforms and the "Salesian Association of Technology and Innovation" also offer their Vocational Training courses. These centers have the support of companies from different sectors, so that their students enjoy a real experience of the world of work.

Through the job/internship grants and projects launched by the Salesians, every year thousands of young people - and among them many of those at risk of social exclusion - manage to get a job.
