The Rovira i Virgili University (URV) celebrated its fifth anniversary of dual training this Wednesday, highlighting a successful model that integrates academic study with professional labor contracts.

Starting in 2021 with Chemistry, the URV was the first in Spain to offer this modality. Today, the program includes Tourism and Labor Relations, with 30 companies such as Repsol, BASF, and PortAventura providing over 1,000 hours of paid work experience per student.

"Students learn practically and improve teamwork and other soft skills through this symbiosis."

Rector Josep Pallarès emphasized that this collaboration is essential for the region's development. The program's success is reflected in the nearly 100% job placement rate for graduates who complete the dual mention on their degrees.
