It drives personal development and helps people shape their professional future.\u00a0In this way, training strengthens the industry\u2019s competitiveness and contributes to the progress of the regions where we operate. That is why we open our plants to students, take part in educational initiatives and actively collaborate with training centres to show first-hand how an industrial company operates and what opportunities the sector offers.<\/p>\n<p>A significant part of this effort is channelled through our participation in the \u2018Industria Erronka-Reto Industria\u2019 programme, promoted by the Vizcaya Federation of Metal Companies (FVEM).\u00a0This initiative aims to bring industry closer to young people and inspire careers in the technical and industrial sectors of the Basque Country. Thanks to this collaboration, we regularly welcome students to our facilities and also take part in educational activities at schools.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, throughout 2025, students from the Otxarkoaga BHIP school visited our Teknia Elorrio plant, where they were able to see first-hand the industrial processes and the workings of a company in the automotive sector.<\/p>\n<p>During the visit, the students had the opportunity to discover how different components are manufactured and to understand the role that industry plays in technological and economic development.\u00a0Similarly, various members of the Teknia Elorrio team took part in a session at San Antonio School in Durango, sharing with the students their experience in the industrial sector and the career opportunities it offers.<\/p>\n<p>Our plants are also open to international students. At Teknia Bilbao, we welcomed a visit in 2025 from students at the \u00c9cole d\u2019Ing\u00e9nieurs ESTIA in Bidart, France, who have been training at the Bilbao School of Engineering for several months. During their visit to our facilities, they were able to see first-hand our capabilities in the manufacture of automotive components using bar turning technology, as well as how a highly specialised industrial environment operates.<\/p>\n<p>As well as opening our doors to students, we also take part in events that foster connections between companies and young talent. A recent example is our presence at the Mobility Job &amp; Talent Day fair, held at AIC Boroa, where we had the opportunity to introduce Teknia to students and young professionals interested in developing their careers in the mobility industry.<\/p>\n<p>All these initiatives are complemented by other strategic actions aimed at promoting the training and development of young talent. Among these, our commitment to Dual Vocational Training stands out, a model that allows students to combine their academic training with practical experience within the company.\u00a0In this regard, we have XX staff members across XX sites who have started working at Teknia after completing their Vocational Training placements with us.<\/p>\n<p>We also collaborate with vocational training centres in the various regions where we operate and develop corporate projects aimed at promoting talent mobility and the exchange of internal knowledge, such as our corporate programme Moving Talent.<\/p>\n<p>Our commitment to training also extends to educational initiatives in other contexts, such as our social action programme in Senegal, which includes the construction of the CEM Kamanar and the Bajankusoor Vocational Training Centre, a project we are developing in partnership with the NGO Foundation, with the aim of contributing to educational development and offering new training opportunities to the country\u2019s young people.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, we support projects that bridge the gap between academia and applied engineering, such as our collaboration with Formula Student, an international university competition in which teams of students design and build their own racing cars. In 2025, Teknia is sponsoring two teams, one in Spain (Autonomous University of Madrid) and the other in Poland (Rzesz\u00f3w University of Technology), with the aim of contributing to the development of young talent and bringing future engineers closer to the company.<\/p>\n<p>At Teknia, we are convinced that industry plays a fundamental role as a driver of economic and social development. That is why we continue to work to bring the reality of industry closer to students, promote technical training and help ensure that new generations find in industry a space in which to develop their talent and build their professional future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At Teknia, we understand that attracting young talent starts with bringing the industry closer to them.\u00a0For us, training is a real driver of growth.
