Industrial production is a major pillar of the economy, yet the sector has faced a persistent gap: a shortage of highly educated workers who can thrive in a digital era. Many young people still associate industrial jobs with traditional, hands-on tasks and stereotypes that misrepresent the modern field.
With support from the Ministry of Innovation, Industry, Trade and Tourism and through FEMPA, efforts are underway to correct these impressions. The goal is to expand and strengthen industrial production in Alicante province by improving education and expanding employment opportunities, while also addressing gender representation in the industry.
