This week, Real Economy visited Spain\u2019, the first country to receive billions of dollars from AB\u2019's pandemic recovery fund.<\/p>\n

We talk to Nadia Calvi\u00f1o, Spain's Minister of Economy and Digitalization, and meet with students at Tenerife\u2019, where rescue funds are spent on vocational training.<\/p>\n

The foundations of the European \u2019 recovery are being laid<\/b><\/p>\n

Europe\u2019's response to the pandemic crisis (at current prices) was a historic stimulus plan worth \u20ac806.9 billion.<\/p>\n

At the heart of this is the \u20ac723.8 billion Improvement and Resilience Facility, which aims to help EU countries get back on their feet by investing, creating jobs and building a green and digital future (at current prices).<\/p>\n

Spain will receive 69.5 billion Euro\u2019 of this money; This is the largest public investment plan in the country's recent history. So far, it has received \u20ac9 billion in emergency pre-financing and received its first installment, \u20ac10 billion in \u2019 in December 2021.<\/p>\n

You can get a lot of theory in college, but you can get very little practice.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Canaries like Tenerife\u2019de Adri\u00e1n learn professional skills to help them find work.<\/p>\n

Adri\u00e1n, \u201cYou can get a lot of theory in the university, but very little practice. The good thing about vocational training is that you have the option to do an internship, \u201d explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they like the way you work and need people, they'll take you. How do I see my future after this training? Well, I hope I start working on something about that. I would like to work in different countries of the world. The U.S., Germany, the U.K., everywhere, but I work in different places, \u201d adds.<\/p>\n

Although training centres such as Adri\u00e1n\u2019's already exist, partly thanks to the European Social Fund, the Recovery Fund\u2019's \u20ac2 billion will be allocated to the creation of 135,000 new vocational training centres in \u2019, Spain.<\/p>\n

Jorge Rivero Antu\u00f1a, director of the CIFP C\u00e9sar Manrique vocational school, says the money is already being used to teach technology and business.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe receive funding from the European \u2019, known as the European Social Fund. This includes teachers' salaries and training courses for the unemployed and workers. %Covers 80\u2019ini. Regarding the resilience mechanism, we have already received the necessary money for technology lessons, entrepreneurship, etc. We hope that we will continue to receive funds throughout 2022 and 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like many southern European member states, Spain is facing systemic unemployment, especially among young people. Matching student skills with what employers really want is seen as one of the main ways to combat unemployment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos says his firm is struggling to find the right candidates with the right skills.<\/div>\n

Rise of technology<\/b><\/p>\n

Tourism remains the main driver of economic activity in Tenerife\u2019, but the archipelago's rapidly growing technology sector also provides business opportunities.<\/p>\n

Carlos Rodr\u00edguez is the founder of Omnia Infosys\u2019in, a company that helps SMEs and public institutions in the Canary Islands\u2019 in their digital transformation needs. Despite high regional and national rates of youth unemployment, Carlos says the firm is struggling to find the right candidates.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, people in both the Canary Islands of \u2019nda and the rest of Spain\u2019 do not have the right education to meet what we need. We don't have all the skills we need, but people don't have them, \u201d explains.<\/p>\n

Despite this difficulty, Carlos concludes optimistically: \u201cThis sector will grow a lot. There will be a lot of demand. We need more and more people with different skills because the demand has been incredible since COVID-19\u2019. Growth has tripled or quadrupled in the last two years. And that growth will continue to grow. In fact, there are millions of job openings in this sector in Europe\u2019.<\/p>\n

Transforming the Spanish economy<\/b><\/p>\n

To receive its first payment of \u20ac10 billion, Spain had to implement dozens of structural reforms, including measures aimed at improving the vocational education ecosystem and reducing gender pay inequality in the workplace.<\/p>\n

Other EU member states are also currently encouraging reforms to get their share of the bailout funds.<\/p>\n

Real Economy, SpainTo learn more about \u2019's national recovery plan and how it plans to use recovery funds to transform the country's economy, spoke with the country's Vice-President of Government and Minister of Economy and Digitalization, Nadia Calvi\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

SpainThe present of \u2019 and the future of Spain\u2019 are very important for future generations.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

According to Euronews:<\/strong>\u201cSpain\u2019ya will be given almost 70 billion euros. What will this mean for Spain and the Spanish economy?\u201d<\/p>\n

Nadia Calvi\u00f1o, Vice-President of the Government of Spain and Minister of Economy and Digitalization:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the present of \u2019 in Spain and SpainIt is very important for the future of \u2019 and for future generations. Our recovery plan focuses on four axes: green, digital, social and regional cohesion and gender equality that drive all our programs. Digital will represent about 30 percent of the total investment.\u2019<\/p>\n

According to Euronews:<\/strong>These funds come with a number of structural reforms. How hard was it to meet all these conditions?<\/p>\n

Nadia Calvino:<\/strong>\u201cThe process was cumbersome and very busy. We were a little bit like guinea pigs, starting the process. Together with the Commission, we are learning how to implement this unprecedented recovery plan.<\/p>\n

As for the reforms, we accelerated them throughout 2021, now the main challenge is to complete what is waiting in parliament and maintain the flow of funds that began last year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spain is a big country, a complicated country.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

According to Euronews:<\/strong>\u201cAre you sure you have the administrative capacity to do this?\u201d<\/p>\n

Nadia Calvino:<\/strong>\u201cThis is a very, very important challenge for every administration. Spain is a great country; It's a complicated country. We have a multi-level management. For this reason, we have created a management structure and strengthened the mechanisms we have.<\/p>\n

In the coming weeks, we will launch some of the most important strategic plans, such as leading the transition to electric and connected vehicles.<\/p>\n

According to Euronews:<\/strong>\u201cHow much difference do you think vocational education projects will make in terms of unemployment?\u201d<\/p>\n

Nadia Calvino:<\/strong>\u201cVocational education is one of the keys to unlocking a better functioning labor market in the future. Our unemployment rate has fallen to 13.3%\u2019e, which provides us with a good foundation along with structural reforms, particularly labour market reform, and, at the same time, with a crucial investment effort towards education, vocational training and lifelong learning, Spain, which could allow \u2019 to finally overcome some of the imbalances that have driven growth and prosperity for decades.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
